Meet the Rights Holder: The Lyricist

Lyricists write the words that form part of any piece of music that isn’t solely instrumental.

While music evokes a mood through its melodies and rhythms, the words to a song communicate ideas directly. A lyricist’s work enhances the impact a song has on its listeners through the word pictures it paints.

Sometimes lyrics come first and are then set to music; sometimes the melody comes first and lyrics are written to fit it. The never-ending debate about what is more important, lyrics or music, shows that in fact they have an equal role in the songwriting process.

Meet the Rights Holder: The Composer


Derived from the Latin word meaning "one who puts together," a composer pieces together melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and dynamics that ultimately culminate in an original piece of work that may be performed or recorded by an individual musician or music ensemble.

Composers have individual styles, methods, and goals, but they all have one thing in common: they use music as a medium to express and evoke ideas and emotions.
