				| There is a lot of original music that wasn't rewritted in his compositions. 
 Is it okay to use 'is' or should I use 'was'?
 
 Is there a word 'rewritted'?  Should it be 'rewritten'?

 Well, yes, "write" is a verb that goes to "written", not "writted".  But the bigger problem with this sentence is that "original" and "not rewritten" mean the same thing ( I think).
 
 Could you mean...
