is this for a demo of your work as a performance artist? Are you asking 
for any money?

What agreement do you have with the composer? Who has the various rights 
to the work (publisher, mechanical,etc.)

If you have no agreement, the best thing to do is to find out your 
rights as a performance artist (if you are) and also contact the various 
copyright holders. The composer just might make an agreement with you so 
that you can post the work and both of you can benefit.
