In 31:19 God commanded Moses to write down the song that he would teach him. Unless I misunderstand the meaning of this word for song it would imply two components; words and music. It should not come as a surprise that God is the one who wrote the first songs and continues to write them today. He gave Moses the words for this song and then taught he and Joshua how to sing it. I wonder if singing is God’s primary form of speaking? Since much of the Hebrew scriptures are poetic is construction I wonder if there was a tune that God had in mind as he shared his revelation with his people? Since scripture never mentions angels singing I wonder if their creation, and maybe ours, was to be the audience for God’s song?
