A songwriter is someone who writes, in part or in full, the lyrics to songs, the musical composition to songs, or both. That is to say a songwriter is a lyricist, a composer, or both. The word 'songwriter' is however more commonly used to describe one who writes popular songs than to describe a writer of art songs. Songwriters may perform the songs they write themselves, or may write for somebody else to perform. People who sing their own songs are nowadays typically called ''singer-songwriters'', although the tradition of doing this dates back hundreds of years. It is often speculated that pre-historic man must have made up and sung songs. More recently, the troubadors of the middle ages sang their own work, as did the German minnesang. Most art songwriting is written for somebody other than the composer to perform, although it is known that Schubert often sang his own songs at private parties, and there have been a number of composers who were also singers and wrote for themselves, Carl Loewe being one example. Many modern rock and roll bands have one or two songwriters, often members of the band. In many cases, the lead singer is one of the songwriters. There have been quite a few popular songwriting teams such as the Tamla Motown team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland and the teams of Lennon-McCartney, Lerner and Loewe, George and Ira Gershwin and Rogers and Hart. ==See also== *List of songwriters *Songwriters Hall of Fame Music occupations

Hallo!
For an non-German reader it might be good if you stated a bit clearer how you view volksmusik in comparison to folk music.

The wording of this page is too benign and generic. There should be a distinction between someone who writes a few lines or a few words for a song, rather than wholly contributing to the song.
