LITURGICAL HYMN TO SIN. 8097 (NO. 7)
This liturgical composition consists of two melodies each designated by
the rubric _sagarram_, “It is a _sagar_.” The entire service is sung to
the _tigû_, a kind of flute. In the first melody of fifteen lines the
choir chant the glory of the moon god and his city Ur. The second melody
of twenty-four lines is apparently an address of the earth god Enlil to
his son the moon god. This melody must remain obscure as long as the
recurring liturgical phrase _áb-mu-ba-ši-in-dib_ is unexplained.
