	Musical composition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A piece of music exists in the form of a written composition in musical notation or as a single acoustic event (a live performance or recorded track).
		Similarly, music of the Middle East employs compositions that are rigidly based on a specific scale (such as the dorian, phrygian, mixolydian, and locrian scales etc...), often within improvisational contexts, as does Hindustani music of India, gamelans of Java and Bali, and much music in Africa.
		The task of instrumenting a composition, called arranging or orchestrating, may be undertaken by the composer or separately by an arranger based on the composer's core composition.

	DP81: Form of Music Codes in Bibliographic Records
		The music cataloging community is not unanimous on the issues of what musical aspects to code and what codes to define for form of composition.
		DISCUSSION Beginning with the original specifications for music, which were first published as the MARC Format for Music (1976), data elements have been defined for providing a coded representation of the form of music composition.
		Since form of musical composition and genre are generally recorded as full-text strings in one of the 6XX fields, there may be no loss in usability of the cataloging records.

	Algorithmic Composition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Procedures that entail rules or provisions to govern the act of musical composition have been used since the Medieval period; these same principles have been applied in very specific methods to many of the recent computer programs developed for algorithmic composition.
		Early algorithmic compositions were driven exclusively by collaboration between scientists and musicians; therefore, the use of scientific terminology normally associated with computer science provided a uniform understanding of the algorithm.
		The earlier types of algorithmic music composition that used stochastic and chaotic methods, lent themselves well to definition and categorization; however, the distinction between rule-based, grammars, and artificial intelligence algorithms in the more recent past has led to some confusion because of the lack of consistent terminology.

		A musical composition is a piece of original music.
		Musical composition also refers to the process by which a piece of music is created.
		Useful skills in composition include writing musical notation, instrumentation, and handling musical ensembles (orchestration); however the definition of composition has broadened to include extended techniques like improvisation, musical montage, preparing instruments, using non-traditional objects or methods of sound production, and making music from silence, as John Cage famously did.

		This form of composition tends to be extremely well integrated but one must be careful because often it is simply music you have heard elsewhere, i.e.
		In this case, the music was so far removed from "He's so fine", I had to laugh (again) at the stupidity of the judicial system.

		Some pieces are composed around a set scale, where the compositional technique might be considered the usage of a particular scale.
		When playing or reading classical notated music, only the key signature (set of notes in scale) matters.
		Similarly, music of the Middle East employs rigid scale within often improvisational contexts, as does Hindustani music of India, gamelans of Java and Bali, and much music in Africa.

	Schillinger System of Musical Composition
		Music has remained in the dark, without geometric form, because we still refer to C as 1 instead of zero.
		Once the mechanics of music is seen as a whole we see and grasp this overview as we would view a plastic model of an internal combustion engine or a clock.
		The 2 volume Schillinger System of Musical Composition is very difficult and requires years of study, but with the coordinated simultaneous study of the Encyclopedia of Rhythms and cross reference to his Mathematical Basis of the Arts it begins to make sense.

	The Age of Intelligent Machines: Artificial Intelligence and Musical Composition
		Whereas in the past, musical theories have as often as not been accepted on the basis of intrinsic logical elegance, AI techniques now make it possible to implement a theory as a program whose products may be evaluated empirically against authentic musical examples.
		From their beginnings in the mid 1950s up until a few years ago, programs for automatic musical composition have been developed by a small handful of musicians working in relative isolation from the mainstream AI movement and, for that matter, from other computer-music fields such as digital sound synthesis.
		The entry of AI into musical creativity is by no means as radical as it might seem to laymen in view of the active and long-standing tradition of composer involvement with technical theory about music.

	Musical Patterns
		Every single piece of music could be considered a [language] unto itself; so we are apparently discussing simultaneously, the metasyntax and metasemantics of music, in terms of its mathematized structures.
		The actual process of composing music is very complicated as it involves integrating all levels of organization, where any given level can be designated (parameterized) by a time of duration; from the duration of a pitch or rest up to the time duration of the entire composition.
		The sparseness of music of this type is reminiscent of Gagaku, the court music of Japan.

	U.S. Copyright Office - Circular 56a: Copyright Registration of Musical Compositions and Sound Recordings

		Copyright in a sound recording is not the same as, or a substitute for, copyright in the underlying musical composition.
		Although they are separate works, a musical composition and a sound recording may be registered together on a single application if ownership of the copyrights in both is exactly the same.

	Brahms' Composition Techniques
		Never begin working the out of a composition before the whole thing has taken definite form as an outline either on paper or in your head.
		In regular composition, and song writing, the determining role of the melody and of clearly perceived basses created in good counterpoint should be a must.
		When you compose, it is good for a beginner to copy or follow a particular structure of a piece or a style of a composer; this way you can discover how a composition is created or constructed and apply this to your own ideas.
