Talk:Author (music)

Usually, the "author" of written music is called a composer. The term "song-writer" may be used to describe a person who creates lyrics as well as the melody or chord progression, though often the chords progressions of many songs are very similar (i.e. blues progression) and genres which incorporate the three basic chords: I, IV and V.

Perhaps this article should be redirected to "composer" instead.
