[Fmpro] For Lynne Simple Hello - nomenclature

[Chris Alpiar]

Well I don't think we are in dis-agreeance Mark, what I wrote after that
sentence which you quoted is pretty much exactly what you just said. At that
point in my statement I was referring to the dictionary definitions which
state anyone that can notate anything musical of any nature is technically a
composer, but I went on to say a lot more

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/composer
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/composer

Try not to quote me in scorn unless you read what I write, thanks

Chris

Respectfully, I have to disagree. Here's how you get your arms around it:

Irving Berlin was a songwriter.

Igor Stravinski was a composer.

George Gershwin and Henry Mancini were both.

Hope this straightens things out.
