compositions
Musical or literary creations
Compositions are things that have been composed—assembled or created from parts.
The word appears most often in artistic contexts: musical compositions, written compositions, photographic compositions.
A composition is also the makeup of something: the composition of the atmosphere, the ethnic composition of the neighborhood.
In schools, a composition is an essay or written assignment.
