Richard J. Dumbrill is an archaeomusicologist who was born in France (Epernay 1947). He has devoted his academic career to the study of the archaeomusicology of the Ancient Near East, especially the interpretation of cuneiform texts of Music Theory written in Sumerian, Babylonian and Hurrian. His interpretation of theory is based on his profound knowledge of Middle-Oriental Musicology. He has rejected previous interpretations which were based on Western Theory and therefore inadequate. One of his greatest achievements was the translation of the oldest song ever written found in northwest syria at the site of Ugarit. He made reconstructions of ancient instruments, notably the Silver lyre of Ur hosted at the British Museum, with Myriam Marcetteau and the Elamite harp of the battle of Ulai, with Margaux Bousquet. He is the founder, with Irving Finkel of the International Council of Near Eastern Archaeomusicology [1] (ICONEA) at the Institute of Musical Research, School of Advanced Studies, University of London,[2]. Richard Dumbrill has lectured at major world university, including Harvard and Yale, but also Babylon, Beirut, Damascus, Leiden, Rotterdam, Paris, etc. Works Books- Semitic Music Theory https://www.amazon.com/Semitic-Music-Theory-Richard-Dumbrill/dp/0244754764
