prior to the Paleolithic age
context: The prehistoric age is considered to have ended with the development of writing, and with it, by definition, prehistoric music. "Ancient music" is the name given to the music that followed. The "oldest known song" was written in cuneiform, dating to 3400 years ago from Ugarit in Syria. It was a part of the Hurrian songs, more specifically Hurrian hymn no. 6. It was deciphered by Anne Draffkorn Kilmer, and was demonstrated to be composed in harmonies of thirds, like ancient "gymel", and also was written using a Pythagorean tuning of the diatonic scale. The oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world, is the Seikilos epitaph.

Answer: Though definitions of music vary wildly throughout the world, every known culture partakes in it, and music is thus considered a cultural universal. The first piece of non-written music was made prior to the Paleolithic age, circa 3.3 million years ago. The "oldest known song" was written in cuneiform, dating to 3400 years ago from Ugarit in Syria.
