The prompt is preserved verbatim as part of the documented artifact.

Create an early proto-modern music track representing the transition from ancient organic music to a more measured, precise, and systematized musical era. Use plucked strings, early bowed textures, wooden and metallic percussion, simple winds, and a steady pulse that feels more regulated than before. No electronic instruments, no modern production, no real language, no lyrics, no religious references. The composition should suggest the birth of musical precision, repetition, and form, while still sounding acoustic and historical. Make it feel like humanity approaching a new age of musical structure.
