  • How to define music has long been the subject of debate; philosophers, musicians, and, more recently, various social and natural scientists have argued about what constitutes music. The definition has varied through history, in different regions, and within societies. Definitions vary as music, like art, is a subjectively perceived phenomenon. Its definition has been tackled by philosophers of art, lexicographers, composers, music critics, musicians, semioticians or semiologists, linguists, sociologists, and neurologists. Music may be defined according to various criteria including organization, pleasantness, intent, social construction, perceptual processes and engagement, universal aspects or family resemblances, and through contrast or negative definition.
  • 音楽の定義（おんがくのていぎ） 音楽（おんがく）とは、音のもつ性質を利用して、それを時間の流れの中で組み合わせて、いろいろな気持ちや考えを表現したものである。従って音楽は3つの要件が必要である。1、材料として音を用いる。2、音の性質を利用して組み合わせる。3、時間の流れの中で素材（音）を組み合わせる。そのため、リズム（律動）、メロディー（旋律）、ハーモニー（和声）をもつものが音楽とされる。つまり、音楽は時間の中に組み立てられた芸術であり、絵画や彫刻を芸術空間とよぶのにたいして、時間芸術ともよび、美学では人為的な音楽は音による時間の表現であると定義する。広くは人間が楽しめたり、意味を感じたりすることのできる音全体のことをさす場合もある。
