What’s Music
Expert Solution
Introduction

The word'music' comes from the Ancient Greek o (mousiké), which means '(art) of the Muses.' The nine Muses were goddesses in Greek mythology who inspired literature, science, and the arts, and who were the source of knowledge expressed in Greek poetry, song lyrics, and tales. Music is the art of organising sounds in time using melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and timbral aspects. It is a cultural characteristic of all human communities that is universal. Pitch (which determines melody and harmony), rhythm (and its linked notions tempo, metre, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the auditory qualities of timbre and texture are all prevalent features in general definitions of music (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound).
