original compositions
Works not yet existing
Original compositions are works—typically musical pieces, but also writings or artworks—created by the performer or author rather than borrowed, adapted, or covered from existing material.
The phrase emphasizes that the work originated with its creator: The band played only original compositions.
In academic contexts, it often distinguishes student-created work from assignments based on prompts or models.
