Music will not run after Ventura upgrade

Everything seemed ok after I installed Ventura on my Mac mini.

Until I tried to launch Music.

The music app bounces in the dock for two minutes and then stops with no indication of running (no black dot).

Right-click shows the "not responding"/Force Quit menu.

When I think about it, I realise that this is the most critical application that must work. And it is the only one that does not.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, then click Updates. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your Mac.
