The word music itself comes from the Slavic voice, and the word music from the Greek μουσική τέχνη (mousikē téchnē) - "art of muses ", of which only the first word μουσική, derived from the word μούσα (mousa), which means muse, has survived. Further on, the Latin form of music spread around the world , mostly describing pleasant sounds. This form is the most common in the world's languages.
Defining music is already a little harder, and many have tried it, from musicologists to performers. Basically, we can say that music is an art that expresses itself with sung and / or played tones , various sounds , noises and silence between them. Sounds and noises are mostly used by modern composers when they want to describe some content musically. The silence between the tones is made by pauses .
In addition to being a reproductive (performing) art, music is one of the fine (beautiful) arts because its goal is aesthetics . As film is called the seventh art , so music is, according to traditional aesthetics , the first art (that is, the first on the list of arts). Music also has points of contact with theater, not only because it is practiced in it, but there is also a genre that borrows it from both - the musical . Closely related to all three, but especially to music, is dance .
Music is shaped by time , because it can only be experienced over a period of time (unlike painting , which shapes space). That is why music must have a rhythmic arrangement of its raw material - tones and other sounds. In addition, we edit the music using melody (a series of tones of different pitches) and harmony (simultaneity of different pitches). Thus rhythm, melody and harmony become the basic elements of music.
