It's not an arrangement.  It is an original composition.  An arrangement means utilizing someone else's music creation and putting a different slant

on it, including writing variations on their melodies, rhythms, key signature, etc.  If you write an arrangement of a person's tune you must first

seek his or her permission.

I have no idea what your message means.  You have totally misunderstood me.

What I said in my message above is the absolute truth.  I am a composer of original music AND arranger, that is I write arrangements of music that I originally did not compose.  These two are related but they are still different in concept and in action.  You can COMPOSE  original music and you can also ARRANGE other people's music.  These facts have been around as long as music has been in existence.

I think we have here a classic example of what in General Semantics is referred to as "Bypassing."

The listener and speaker act as if the words mean the same thing to each person, but their interpretations are different.

I understood "arrangement" to refer to the way LGA arranged his [implied: own, original] melodies.

I understood "arrangement" to refer to the the song as a whole (an arrangement [implied: of someone else's material].

 

JMO: I don't think amiller was saying it was an arrangement as opposed to a composition, but rather that the statement was about the way the melodic material was arranged/handled/treated/etc.

Sorry for the interruption. Carry on.
