In the terminology in the popular music (mostly pop and rock), a cover is the reinterpretation of a piece of music, different from others interpreted and published previously, made by someone who is not the original interpreter.

Nowadays the term cover is used to indicate the reinterpretation of relatively recent songs and is often used to intend a singer or an entire band who is engaged in the reinterpretation itself.

For other musical genres (such as classical music) performing the same composition by different interpreters is the rule, so there is no corresponding term. For the jazz genre (and only for it) the term cover is used to define the theme of a well-known song and is used by musicians as a basis for variations and improvisations.
