means The art of arranging sound — pitch, rhythm, and timbre — into patterns that move us, whether played, sung, or simply heard in the head.
from From Greek mousikē, "the art of the Muses" — those nine goddesses who presided over poetry, dance, and song. To the Greeks, mousikē meant far more than tunes: it covered the whole sweep of the arts the Muses inspired. The word travelled through Latin musica into Old French musique, narrowing along the way until it meant just the organized air we know today.
