…However, the concept of music in the West has undergone some changes. The common origin of the words music in English, Musik in German, musique in French, and musica in Italian is the Greek mousikē, which originally meant the arts administered by the goddesses known as the Muses (Muses in English), and included not only the art of music in the narrow sense, but also the art of poetry as something recited, dance, and other time arts unified by rhythm.
