[Fmpro] For Lynne Simple Hello

[Lynne T. Conte]

Les, you ask "do you consider all 'composers' to be songwriters?"

A *composer* is a person who writes music<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music>.
The term refers particularly to someone who writes music in some type
of musical
notation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_notation>; thus, allowing
others to perform <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance> the music. This
distinguishes the composer from a
musician<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musician>who
improvises <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisation> or plays an
instrument <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument>. The term can also
include someone who writes electroacoustic
music<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroacoustic_music>which may or
may not be transcribed into some form of musical notation. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composer)

Musically Yours,

Lynne
