evaluated by music critics, music journalists, and music scholars, as
well as amateurs.
The modern English word 'music' came into use in the 1630s. 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.

rite of passage ceremonies, celebrations, and cultural activities. The
music industry includes songwriters, performers, sound engineers,
