## Definition

A Musical Composition is a creation that combines melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and lyrics (if any) to form a complete musical piece intended for performance or recording. Unlike a sound recording, the musical composition is a song's underlying composition (e.g., notated melodies, harmonies, rhythms, lyrics).
