Morphology
make + beautiful + music + together
The literal sense — to create pleasing music jointly — is directly derivable from 'make' + 'beautiful' + 'music' + 'together', so learners will grasp the idea of joint creation. However, the intended figurative meaning (to collaborate harmoniously and effectively) is a metaphorical extension (music = harmony) that is partially inferable but not fully predictable without contextual/pragmatic knowledge.
Etymology
Make beautiful music together comes from the simple picture of musicians who make beautiful music together, where each player's part fits the others and the whole sounds much better. That's why it now means 'to work together in a very harmonious and effective way'.
