Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Composition

• Composer

  • In this garden, Composer pages model a real person who writes music as works: pieces, scores, soundtracks, and fixed-media or electroacoustic works. A Composer is a kind of Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music, and the rest follows Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker.

  • What counts as an instance

    • A person whose composed works are a significant part of their public identity, in any tradition: concert music, jazz, film and game music, acousmatic, electroacoustic and computer music.
    • A fixed-media or tape piece is a composed work, so its maker is a Composer: Person/Pierre Henry, Person/Eliane Radigue.
    • A person known mainly for songs in the popular, folk, blues or rock traditions carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Composition/Song and leaves Composer out, since a Songwriter is a kind of Composer. Franz Schubert, who wrote art songs, and Tito Puente, who wrote tunes for his band, carry Composer.

  • Boundary cases

    • An improviser whose music exists only in performance carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Performance. An improviser who also writes pieces carries Composer as well.
    • An electronic producer who releases tracks carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Production, and adds Composer for works presented as compositions, such as concert pieces or film scores: Person/Daniel Lopatin.
    • A person who makes sound installations or sound sculptures carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Art/Sound, and adds Composer when they also write pieces for concert or release: Person/Wei Yang.
    • A composer who also writes music theory adds Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Theory; one who also leads ensembles from the podium adds Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Performance/Conducting, as Person/John Adams does.

  • Works

    • A composed work follows Logseq/Entity/Music/Work for placement under its credited identity or the composer's hub, with created-by:: linking the known composer and Logseq/Frontmatter/created-by-identities preserving a separate published identity when applicable.
