Music composition
Simply: The act of creating music.
Types
Traditional composition is what most people think of when they think of "composition"
- writing scores for solo or groups of acoustic instruments
- academic and scholarly in nature (seen in education, research)
- emphasis on form, harmony, melody, theory
Production is another avenue of music composition
- music production, audio engineering, [beatmaking.md]
- more industry focused
- emphasis on sound design, technology, and application of harmony/melody/form/theory
- digital tools, like with [sampling]
Songwriting involves music composition with lyrical writing
- emphasis on song structure, narrative, lyrics, and application of harmony/melody/theory
However, there are composers, songwriters, and producers who blur the lines between these roles. Each of these categories involves the composition of music; the only difference is in the surrounding attitude, tools, and terminology.
