Music is found in every culture around the world and has existed for at least 55,000 years. Although musical compositions may have existed this far back in human history, the earliest written songs only date back to over 3,000 years ago. Most of the known songs come from the early 1st through 4th century CE and were religious hymns. Several of these early Christian hymns are still used by the Church today. Researchers have spent time piecing together these songs and recordings for all of the songs on this list exist and can be heard online.
