musical material, or composition, as held in western classical music. Even when Christian Rap Music music is notated precisely, there are still many decisions that a performer has to make.

Music can be composed for repeated performance or it can be improvised: composed on the spot. The music can be performed entirely Christian Rap Music from memory, from a written system of musical notation, or some combination of Christian Rap Music both.
