Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Composition/Song

• Songwriter

  • In this garden, Songwriter pages model a real person who writes songs: the music, the words, or both. A Songwriter is a kind of Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Composition, so a page marked Songwriter leaves Composer out.

  • What counts as an instance

    • A person known mainly for songs in the popular, folk, blues or rock traditions, including lyricists: Person/Madonna, W. C. Handy.
    • A composer of art songs, such as Franz Schubert and his Lieder, carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Composition. So does a jazz or Latin bandleader who writes tunes for the band, such as Tito Puente and "Oye Como Va".
    • A songwriter who also writes other kinds of works, such as concert pieces or film scores, still carries Songwriter alone. The hub's line saying what the person makes names the other works.

  • Boundary cases

    • A singer-songwriter carries Songwriter and Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Performance: Person/Madonna, Person/Adrianne Lenker.
    • A singer who performs songs other people wrote carries Performance only.
    • A producer who shapes a song in the studio without writing it carries Logseq/Entity/Person/Maker/Music/Production.

  • Works

    • A song is a Logseq/Entity/Music/Work, filed under the songwriter's hub as Composer works are.
