Music won't open

Music shuts down before opening. A lengthly error message pops up. I've clicked on the Reopen button at the bottom of the error message, but each time the error message pops up again.

How can I fix this?

What does the error message say? Try holding down option as you launch Music, then choosing the library you want it to open, typically ~/Music/Music/Music Library.musiclibrary. You can also try holding down both option+cmd as you launch Music, which opens it in its safe mode and may fix certain issues with the database.
