From Latin compositio, composition is the action and effect of composing (gather several things and place them in order to form one; constitute something). A composition can be an artistic work (literary, musical, etc.) or scientific.
For example: "The new composition of the Uruguayan singer demonstrates the influence of Bob Dylan in his creations", “The Guatemalan writer surprised attendees with a raw composition about the reality of his country”, “A composition with various pieces of cloth shaped the winning picture of the third municipal contest of art”.
The notion of composition is often used in the educational field to name the text that the student develops from a theme, either given by the teacher or chosen individually, to improve their mastery of language and its ability to express: “Tomorrow I have to deliver a free theme composition to my language teacher”, “Take note: make a composition about life in the colonial era, narrated in the first person”.
For the grammar , the composition is a procedure that consists of creation of words from the union of two words . In this way a new semantic and syntactic unit is generated: the term videoconference, widely used today, is a clear example of a compound word, since it is obtained from the union of "video" and "conference".
The composition can develop from various lexical combinations (verb / noun, noun / noun, noun / adjective, adjective / adjective). "Corkscrew", "midday", "Whitish" and "Whoever" They are linguistic compositions.
Composition, finally, is also a synonymous with composure (moderation, modesty): "Keep the composition that there are important people here: fix your tie and try not to move so much".
Most influential musical compositions in history
The last three hundred years of our history have given rise to revolutionary creations in all fields, from literature to technology, and music has always been present, as inspiring source of other disciplines and as an infallible companion of the most sensitive souls. Let's see below some of the compositions that have most influenced in our development
First, we have the legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest composers of all time, born in Germany in 1685. Among his most important works is "Passion according to Saint Matthew", a choral piece of incomparable beauty and strength; it combines the beauty and pain, with melodies that penetrate the deepest of the spirit, generating in the listeners a whirlwind of feelings and sensations. It is considered by many the musical creation par excellence.
When you talk about transcendent compositions you can not forget the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, another undisputed genius, also of German origin, born in the year 1770. As with Bach, some of his works are known to people from all walks of life and, without a doubt, none surpasses in popularity his "Symphony No. 9"It is a composition of unparalleled wealth, which has one of the most remembered melodies of all time: the unmistakable"Ode to joy".
Finally, and not precisely because it is of less importance than the first two, is Wolfang Amadeus Mozart, composer of composers, born in Austria in the year 1756 and author of countless works of great popularity, as well as dark and controversial stories. When the word "requiem" is pronounced, it is impossible not to accompany it with the name of this prodigy. His vision of this type of composition, destined for the deceased, is a clear example of his greatness and his humanity, his strength and his weaknesses. They especially highlight their "Dies irae" and his "Tear".
