A '''composer''' is defined by the Meriam-Webster online dictionary as "a person who writes music".  Though a composer can refer to anyone who writes music, the term is more commonly associated with European classical music, than the pop culture music genre of today (a person who writes music of this genre would be called a "songwriter" as opposed to a composer). A person who writes songs for movies, plays, etc. is reffered to as a composer today. Also there is an emerging genre of modern instumental music known as [[New Age]] that is written by composers.
