Musical Composition

Musical Composition is the art and science of creating original music, incorporating melody, harmony, rhythm, and orchestration. This skill involves knowledge of musical notation, theory, and instrumentation to develop compositions for various genres and ensembles. Composers craft works for live performance, film scoring, digital media, and other creative applications. Mastery of musical composition enhances artistic innovation, collaboration with performers, and the ability to convey emotions and narratives through sound.
