original composition
New authored work
An original composition is a work—typically musical, literary, or artistic—created new rather than adapted, arranged, or derived from existing material.
The phrase emphasizes authorship and novelty: The assignment required an original composition, not a cover song.
In academic contexts, it often distinguishes student-created work from copied or collaborative pieces.
