The Performance of a Sumerian Wedding Song (CT 58, 12) 13
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: A close examination of the Old Babylonian Sumerian song CT 58, 12, in terms of its graphic arrangement and its literary patterns, leads to a better understanding of its performance: male and female singers participate, soloists and choir alternate, and vocables feature prominently besides the Sumerian text. The song can be situated within the marriage ceremony.
