Sade is involved in music.
In music , an arrangement is a musical reconceptualization of a previously composed work . A composer ( Latin compono ; literally `` one who puts together '' ) is a person who creates or writes music , which can be vocal music ( for a singer or choir ) , instrumental music ( e.g. , for solo piano , string quartet , wind quintet or orchestra ) or music which combines both instruments and voices ( e.g. , opera or art song , which is a singer accompanied by a pianist ) . A record producer or music producer or track producer oversees and manages the sound recording and production of a band or performer 's music , which may range from recording one song to recording a lengthy concept album .
