French classical music began with the sacred music of the Roman Catholic Church, with written records predating the reign of Charlemagne.
 It includes all of the major genres of sacred and secular, instrumental and vocal music.
 French classical styles often have an identifiably national character, ranging from the clarity and precision of the music of the late Renaissance music to the sensitive and emotional Impressionistic styles of the early 20th century.
 Important French composers include Pérotin, Machaut, Dufay, Josquin des Prez, Lully, Charpentier, Couperin, Rameau, Leclair, Grétry, Méhul, Auber, Berlioz, Alkan, Gounod, Offenbach, Franck, Lalo, Saint-Saëns, Delibes, Bizet, Chabrier, Massenet, Widor, Fauré, d'Indy, Chausson, Debussy, Dukas, Louis Vierne, Duruflé, Satie, Roussel, Hahn, Ravel, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, Auric, Messiaen, Françaix, Dupré, Dutilleux, Boulez, Guillou, Grisey, and Murail.

Musical composition can refer to an original piece of music, either a song or an instrumental music piece, the structure of a musical piece, or the process of creating or writing a new song or piece of music.
 People who create new compositions are called composers in classical music.
 In popular music and traditional music, the creators of new songs are usually called songwriters; with songs, the person who writes new words for a song is the lyricist.
 "Composition" is the act or practice of creating a song or other piece of music.
 In many cultures, including Western classical music, the act of composing typically includes the creation of music notation, such as a sheet music "score", which is then performed by the composer or by other instrumental musicians or singers.
 In popular music and traditional music, songwriting may involve the creation of a basic outline of the song, called the lead sheet, which sets out the melody, lyrics and chord progression.
 In classical music, orchestration (choosing the instruments of a large music ensemble such as an orchestra which will play the different parts of music, such as the melody, accompaniment, countermelody, bassline and so on) is typically done by the composer, but in musical theatre and in pop music, songwriters may hire an arranger to do the orchestration.
 In some cases, a pop or traditional songwriter may not use written notation at all, and instead compose the song in her mind and then play, sing and/or record it from memory.
 In jazz and popular music, notable sound recordings by influential performers are given the weight that written or printed scores play in classical music.
Henk van der Vliet (born 1928) is a Dutch flautist and composer of contemporary classical music.
 Born in Rotterdam, Van der Vliet began musical studies on the accordion when attending the Rotterdam Toonkunstmuziekschool.
 He chose the flute as his instrument and commenced studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music in 1945 and graduated in 1950.
 He studied under Jan van Dijk and Johan Feltkamp.
 After graduation, he taught the flute and played with the Rotterdam Kamerorkest (Rotterdam Chamber Orchestra).
 Starting in 1965, he began to compose music—without having had any previous studies in composition, he is a self-taught composer.
To a greater extent than most other instruments and ensembles, it is difficult to compose music for the guitar without either proficiency in the instrument or close collaboration with a guitarist.
 As a result, a large part of the guitar repertoire consists of works by guitarists who did not compose extensively for other instruments.
 Music prior to the classical era was often composed for performance on various combinations of instruments, and could be adapted by the performer to keyboard instruments, the lute, or the guitar.
 Since the beginning of the 20th century, however, a significant amount of music has been written for the guitar by non-guitarist composers.
Bardo State consists of the duo Frank Wijn and Dorian Broekhuyse.
 Frank is the son of Jan Wijn, a famous Dutch concert pianist, while Dorian attended the conservatory in Amsterdam and has a background in pop and dance music.
 Dorian used to work with Jocelyn Brown, Victoria Wilson James (Soul II Soul) and George Clinton during the nineties.
 Raised on musical influences such as Satie, Ravel & Saint-Saëns, the Dutch twosome are also inspired by contemporary composers like Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass.
 They compose music that is best described as a crossover between pop and classical music.
 Bardo State works with various classical and pop vocalists, both male and female, including Jo Lemaire and Kevin Mark Trail (The Streets).
 They use classical themes and traditional folk music to base their music on.
Erato Records is a record label founded in 1953 as Disques Erato by Philippe Loury to promote French classical music.
 Loury was head of éditions musicales Costallat.
 His first releases in France were licensed from the Haydn Society of Boston, and he made Erato's first recording, in January 1953 Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Te Deum with Les Jeunesses Muslcales.
