List of composers
(Redirected from
Composers)
Composers
are people who write
music. A strong
distinction is made between composers, lyricists and
performers in such
genres as
classical and
jazz music. In other
genres, such as
popular and
folk music, the term "songwriter"
means someone who authors both music and lyrics, and is
more common than "composer." If a songwriter also
performs, he or she is called a "singer/songwriter."
This page includes a list of
composers sorted by various genres.
