Ajjan composed three musical pieces based on the musical notes in the tablet which dates back to 1400 BC, naming the pieces "Sunrise," "Sunset" and "Holiday in Ugarit."Thank you for posting this! I went back to the article to look for an *.mp3 file, but no luck.
We know the Psalms in the Bible were set to music, but we currently have no idea of which music was used. I wonder if this find from Syria is related to musical notation in the Psalms.

Is it the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" riff?

“The first written alphabet, the Ugaritic alphabet, was invented around 1400 BC.”
I detect a bit of chauvinism here. More likely derived than invented, from what I read, and more likely preceded by the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet, perhaps by several centuries (used by “Semitic slaves in northern Egypt”).
