Your statement would be more accurate if you  had said
 "the oldest DOCUMENTED and  CODIFIED Jewish music of them all".
  Remember Miriam:  (Exodus 15:19)
 "Then Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in
her
 hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and dancing.
 And Miriam sang unto them:
 "Sing unto the LORD, for he has
              triumphed gloriously;
 the horse and the rider he has thrown
              into the sea".
 
 Humans sang , howling at the moon, long  before  speech was developed;
 and Jewish people certainly sang  lullabyes, personal prayers and war
 chants  before <matan torah>, before  <trop> and  before the  emergence
of the
 <shliakh tsibur>.
