A score is not music.

And you cannot splice identifiers like

    \music#number

That's just nonsensical.  Try something like

\version "2.19.35"

musicOne = \relative c'' { g4 a b c }
musicTwo = \relative c'' { g4 a b c }

% Manually create all scores

\score {  
 \musicOne
}

\score { 
  \musicTwo
}

% Programmatically create scores?

printTheScore = 
#(define-scheme-function (number) (string?)
#{     
\score {
  $(module-ref (current-module)
    (string->symbol (format "music~a" number)))
}
#})

\printTheScore "One"
\printTheScore "Two"
