# Term: Composer

### Definition: The person who writes music
 (conceptualize and notate).  A composer is thought of as a performer but, more recently, a composer is not considered a performer in the pre-20th century sense.  Presently composers are rarely able to support themselves by writing ( composing) music unless they specialize in popular music.  Composers of classical music are often involved in teaching.

# Music Word of the Day

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more music knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many *comprehensive* and *complete* online music dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile [my own](https://musicterms.artopium.com).
