Evolution of Music from 1400 BC till the present day

Evolution of Music from 1400 BC till the present day
Recently, I've been going through a YouTube playlist containing a chronological list of music clips from the old BC days up till the present (2019) and enjoying the experience. Here's a link to this playlist for anyone interested:

Evolution of Music

I might as well use this thread to post each of these clips per post, successively (starting from the first) and once every few days or so. And then we can comment on what we think about the clip and what it makes us feel and the historical context surrounding it and such.

First clip:





Amazing how even back in 1400 BC the music was this good!

For context, this was a reconstruction of the oldest known melody (Hurrian Hymn no. 6), performed by Michael Levy using a lyre.

For more details:

Btw, I am assuming the rapid beats at the end are just a modernistic creative finisher to the music and wasn't part of the original music. Otherwise, that would be even more impressive!
