The modern English word ' music' came into use in the 1630s. [8] It is derived from a long line of successive precursors: the Old English ' musike' of the mid-13th century; the Old French musique of the 12th century; and the Latin mūsica. [9] [10] [n 1] The Latin word itself derives from the Ancient Greek mousiké ( technē)— μουσική ( τέχνη)—literally meaning "(art) of the Muses". [9] [n 2] The Muses were nine deities in Ancient Greek mythology who presided over the arts and sciences. [13] [14] They were included in tales by the earliest Western authors, Homer and Hesiod, [15] and eventually came to be associated with music specifically. [14] Over time, Polyhymnia would reside over music more prominently than the other muses. [11] The Latin word musica was also the originator for both the Spanish música and French musique via spelling and linguistic adjustment, though other European terms were probably loanwords, including the Italian musica, German Musik, Dutch muziek, Norwegian musikk, Polish muzyka and Russian muzïka.

Musical composition, performance and training in the United Kingdom inherited European classical traditions of the eighteenth century (above all, in Britain, from the example of Handel) and saw a great expansion during the nineteenth century. [18] Romantic nationalism encouraged clear national identities and sensibilities within the countries of the United Kingdom towards the end of the nineteenth century, producing many composers and musicians of note and drawing on the folk tradition. [19] Written notation varies with the style and period of music. In the 2000s, notated music is produced as sheet music or, for individuals with computer scorewriter programs, as an image on a computer screen. In ancient times, music notation was put onto stone or clay tablets. To perform music from notation, a singer or instrumentalist requires an understanding of the rhythmic and pitch elements embodied in the symbols and the performance practice that is associated with a piece of music or a genre. In genres requiring musical improvisation, the performer often plays from music where only the chord changes and form of the song are written, requiring the performer to have a great understanding of the music's structure, harmony and the styles of a particular genre (e.g., jazz or country music).
