| has gloss | (noun) a composer of words or music for popular songs
songwriter, ballad maker, songster |
| has gloss | eng: A songwriter is a writer who creates songs. A songwriter generally writes pop songs, rather than art songs or classical music. Many songwriters are also singers, and perform the songs they write. Other songwriters have their songs performed by other singers. |
| has gloss | eng: A songwriter is one who writes the lyrics or music for songs (or both). One who writes only lyrics may be called a lyricist, while one who writes only music may be called a composer. Although songwriters of the past commonly composed, arranged and played their own songs, more recently the pressure to produce popular hits has tended to distribute responsibility between a number of people. Popular culture songs may be written by group members, but are now often written by staff writers: songwriters directly employed by music publishers. |
