What are the Hurrian songs? Why are they important?

The Hurrian songs are a collection of music inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets excavated from the ancient Amorite-Canaanitecity of Ugarit, a headland in northern Syria, which date to approximately 1400 BC.

It's important because it was something that people admired back in that time. It was a written discourse on the performing arts, including music, dance, stage performances, and so on.
