Songs are typically for a [[solo]] singer, though they may also be in the form of a [[duet]], trio, or composition involving more [[voice]]s. (Works with more than one voice to a part, however, are considered [[choral]].) Songs can be broadly divided into many different forms, depending on the criteria used. One division is between "art songs", "pop songs", and "folk songs "street songs". Other common methods of classification are by [[purpose]] (sacred vs secular), by style ([[dance]], ballad, Lied, etc), or by time of [[origin]] ([[Renaissance]], Contemporary, etc). People sing songs on stage or at a [[music]] studio which can go on to the [[radio]] or a CD these people are often famous and are very expensive to see live and people go to a live stage which will be on TV.

A song is a piece of [[music]] for accompanied or unaccompanied [[voice]] or voices or, "the [[act]] or [[art]] of singing," but the term is generally not used for large vocal forms including [[opera]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oratorio oratorio]. However, the term is "often found in various figurative and transferred [[senses]] (e.g. for the lyrical second subject of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata sonata]...)." The word "song" has the same etymological root as the verb "to sing" and the [[OED]] defines the word to mean "that which is sung". Colloquially, song is sometimes used to refer to any musical composition, including those without vocals. In music styles that are predominantly vocal-based, such as popular music, a composition without vocals may be called a song.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song]
