The word music comes from the Greek mousikê (tekhnê) by way of the Latin musica. It is ultimately derived from mousa, the Greek word for muse.

The concept of musica was split into four major kinds by the fifth century philosopher, Boethius: musica universalis, musica humana, musica instrumentalis, and musica divina. Of those, only musica instrumentalis referred to music as performed sound.
Analysis of harmonic structures is typically presented through a roman numeral analysis. However, over the years, a multitude of methods of analyzing music have presented themselves.
Two very popular methods, Schenkerian analysis and Neo-Riemannian analysis, have dominated much of the field. Schenkerian analysis attempts to "reduce" music through layers of foreground.
Middleground, and, eventually and importantly, the background. analysis began as an extension of Hugo Riemann's theories of music, and then expanding Riemann's concepts of pitch and transformation.
eventually and importantly into a mathematically rich language of analysis. While both theories originated as methods of analysis for tonal music, both have been extended to use in non-tonal music as well.
