# Rethinking ancient music interpretation through Hurrian Hymn H6: a tablaturization

Dylan Lawrence Gibson, 2025.

**Hurrian songs of Ugarit** Articledoi: **[10.1093/em/caaf042](https://doi.org/10.1093/em/caaf042)** 0

## What it's used for here

Early Music 53/3 (2025), 284-313. Surveys the realizations from Wulstan 1971 to Dumbrill 2019, shows that each adds tempo, bar lines or scale direction the tablet does not give, and proposes a string-number tablature as a neutral intermediate step.
