Composer
A composer is a person who writes music. The term is especially used to indicate composers of Western classical music, or those who are composers by occupation. Many composers are, or were, also skilled performers of music. Etymology and definition The term is descended from Latin, ''compōnō''; literally "one who puts together". The earliest use of the term in a musical context given by the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' is from Thomas Morley's 1597 ''A Plain and Easy Introduction to Practical Music'', where he says "Some wil be good descanters ..and yet wil be but bad composers". "Composer" is a loose term that generally refers to any person who writes music. More specifically, it is often used to denote people who are composers by occupation, or those who work in the tradition of Western classical music.

List Of Organ Composers
The following is a list of organ composers. As well as citing the most regarded composers of music for the pipe organ, this list includes important anonymous and early music sources, as well as composers from under-researched regions and countries. Much keyboard music of the Late-Medieval and Renaissance was often played interchangeably on organ, harpsichord, clavichord and the like, with the exception of liturgical music (Mass, Magnificat and Latin hymns versets, chorale settings, etc.) which are thought to have been played primarily on the organ. Several early sources clearly specify the use of organ in free works, such as the Ileborgh Tablature of 1448, which in the third praeambulum has the first known indication for pedal notes. Eras of composition are roughly categorized as follows: * Medieval: before 1440 * Renaissance: 1440–1600 * Baroque: 1600–1750 * Classical: 1750–1810 * Romantic: 1810–1870 * Late Romantic: 1870–1910 * 20th Century: 1910–1990 * Millennial: ...

A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".
