Jing Lu et al The Brain Functional State of Music Creation
doi: 10.1038/srep12277.
Compared composing vs resting state fMRI of 17 composers. Stronger functional connectivity appeared between anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), right angular gyrus and bilateral superior frontal gyrus during composition.

this review lays out what I think the fundamental specializations are for music perception in humans, namely, the hierarchical processing of pitch and rhythm
or, how our minds turn vibrating air into music
