    Musical composition refers to the process of creating new pieces of music. Composers write new music by creating musical notation or scores. In Western classical music, composers typically write the score which is then performed by other musicians. In popular music, songwriting may involve creating an outline called a lead sheet that specifies the melody, lyrics, and chord progression. Composers of songs are usually called songwriters, with the person who writes lyrics referred to as the lyricist. The act of composition can involve multiple people collaborating or different roles like writing melodies, lyrics, or orchestration.

    Musical composition, music composition, or simply composition, can refer to

    an original piece or work of music,[1] either vocal or instrumental, the structure of a musical piece,


    or to the process of creating or writing a new piece of music. People who create new
    compositions are called composers. Composers of primarily songs are usually called songwriters;
    [2][3]
     with songs, the person who writes lyrics for a song is the lyricist. In many cultures, including
    Western classical music, the act of composing typically includes the creation of music notation,
    such as a sheet music "score," which is then performed by the composer or by other musicians.
    In popular music and traditional music, songwriting may involve the creation of a basic outline of
    the song, called the lead sheet, which sets out the melody, lyrics and chord progression. In
    classical music, orchestration (choosing the instruments of a large music ensemble such as
    an orchestra which will play the different parts of music, such as the
    melody, accompaniment, countermelody, bassline and so on) is typically done by the composer,
    but in musical theatre and in pop music, songwriters may hire an arranger to do the orchestration.
    In some cases, a pop or traditional songwriter may not use written notation at all, and instead
    compose the song in their mind and then play, sing or record it from memory. In jazz and popular
    music, notable sound recordings by influential performers are given the weight that written or
    printed scores play in classical music.
    Although a musical composition often uses musical notation and has a single author, this is not
    always the case. A work of music can have multiple composers, which often occurs in popular
    music when all members of a band collaborate to write a song, or in musical theatre, when one
    person writes the melodies, a second person writes the lyrics, and a third person orchestrates the
    songs. A piece of music can also be composed with words, images, or, since the 20th century,
    with computer programs that explain or notate how the singer or musician should create musical
    sounds. Examples range from 20th century avant-garde music that uses graphic notation, to text
    compositions such as Karlheinz Stockhausen's Aus den sieben Tagen, to computer programs
    that select sounds for musical pieces. Music that makes heavy use of randomness and chance is
    called aleatoric music, and is associated with contemporary composers active in the 20th century,
    such as John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Witold Lutosławski. A more commonly known example
    of chance-based music is the sound of wind chimes jingling in a breeze. The study of composition
    has traditionally been dominated by examination of methods and practice of Western classical
    music, but the definition of composition is broad enough to include the creation of popular music
    and traditional music songs and instrumental pieces, and to include spontaneously improvised
    works like those of free jazz performers and African percussionists such as Ewe drummers.
