“Phila” (Greek; philia, φÉ©λÉ©α) is a derivative of one of the seven Greek words for love. It often refers to a friendly love, or a love between equals. “Sophia” (Greek; sophía, σoφÉ©α) is the word for wisdom, specifically pertaining to art and handicraft. These two words were combined to create the word we know as philosophy. “Mousa” (Greek; mousa, μoῦσα) means “art” or “poetry” and is where we get the word “music” from. The title as a whole loosely translates to “love of wisdom, love of music”. This piece is available here at Murphy Music Press. (http://murphymusicpress.com/products/w-675)
