Assuming the composed work is copyrightable (suffiently new and non-derivative), then the owner of the copyright could be: #the composer #the composer's employer (if done as part of employment) #the patron who paid for the composition (if in writing and one of the types of works that can be "work for hire") #joint with another creative contributor (if intended) #lapsed (if old enough) #transferred (in writing) to anyone (including a patron, employer, joint author, or anyone else), or #reclaimed 40 years after transfer Furthermore, when the performance is recorded, the copyright in the new sound recording could be jointly owned by the performers, the editor, the producer, or their respective employers, among others. There are also artists who practice "copyleft" in which they dedicate the ownership of the work to the public, essentially waiving their right to enforce the protections.

Music is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium (notated or recorded). Unless other arrangements were made, the composer/songwriter will be the copyright holder, and the song will be protected for his or her life, plus 50 years in most countries (the US and some others have extended this to 70 years). A recording requires a license from the copyright holder of the underlying song, but then acquires its own protection.
