Rendition or Rendering?

English Language & Usage Asked by user315231 on August 29, 2021

What is a better choice between the words {1} Rendition and {2} Rendering?
For a reviewer of a piece of drama or music, which word is appropriate?

If we want to consider parts of speech:

  1. Rendition NOUN the performance or version of a piece of music or drama; The particular way in which it is performed.

  2. Rendering NOUN the performance of a piece of music, a role in a play etc; the particular way in which something is performed. SYNONYM INTERPRETATION,rendition: Her dramatic rendering of Lady
    Macbeth.

Both seem to be of the same meaning and same part of speech (from New Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary).

One Answer

Definitely rendition. I defy anyone with experience in the kitchen to hear "rendering" and not picture the cellist simultaneously bowing and heating chicken fat over a low fire.
