Here's a nice piece of music from 500 years ago. The most remarkable thing about it is that it has recently been transcribed from a painting by Hieronymus Bosch:-

“I decided to transcribe it into modern notation, assuming the second line of the staff is C, as is common for chants of this era,” Hamrick wrote on her blog.
If you want to see the notation of the Butt Song from Hell close up, or if you don't know much about the Garden of Earthly Delights painting, you can watch this news report by some presenters who seemingly don't know much about the painting either:-
