Abstract
Bathja Bayer’s survey, as presented in this volume, discusses the first five Mesopotamian music theory texts that had been published by 1977, including the Hurrian hymn from Ras Shamra/Ugarit. Since that time, seven more pertinent cuneiform texts have been brought to bear on the subject, and several new interpretations of the materials have had a significant impact on our understanding of ancient Near Eastern music theory and practice. I discussed the first five texts, as well as one other (Kilmer 1984).
