| | Folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, all of which retain their traditional music to some degree. | | | Folk music is still extremely popular among some audiences today, with folk music clubs meeting to share traditional-style songs, and there are major folk music festivals in many countries, eg the Port Fairy Folk Festival is a major annual event in Australia attracting top international folk performers as well as many local artists. | | | Folk music is easily identified with the ordinary working people who created it, and preserving treasured things against the claimed relentless encroachments of capitalism is likewise a goal of many politically progressive people. |

| | Folk Music |
| | Folk music often expresses the character of ethnic and social groups and sometimes a nation. | | | Roots Music encompasses a variety of different musical genres and their offshoots, such as alternative country, traditional country, American folk, blues, and bluegrass--all forms of music that are themselves deeply rooted in, and directly proportional to, the ongoing development of American society and culture. | | | Folk music is usually learned by listening rather than by reading the notes or words. |

| | Folk Process - The Cuisinart Theory |
| | For a starting point, "folk process" seems to mean the process by which folk music, folk tales and folklore generally either come into being or are passed from one person or generation to the next. | | | "Folk Music" is something related to the North American Folk (Music and Dance) Association, which assiduously (and IMHO, wisely) refuses to adopt a definition. | | | So the "folk process" would be passing traditional tales and music among the "common people" by ear. |

| | The Bible and the Talmud record that spontaneous music making was common among the ancient Jews on all important occasions, religious and secular. | | | Later the Ashkenazim (Jewish communities that had their original European base in Germany) accepted some of the melodic forms of German folk song and Italian court song; this adaptation was more or less successfully opposed by traditionalists who reintroduced elements from the song of the Middle Eastern Jews. | | | In his five textbooks on music theory Boethius (c.A.D. 525) applied the first 15 letters of the alphabet to the notes in use at the end of the Roman period. |

| | Recognizing folk's potential for lyrical urgency and emotional immediacy, many musicians today follow in the footsteps of those mid-century crossover artists, creating electrifying cultural documents without plugging in. | | | Over the better part of the last century folk music has become increasingly assimilated into popular culture, as epitomized by the work of noted ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, who introduced folk artists like Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, and Burl Ives to the American public. | | | Traditional folk music is a culturally specific, regional music made by the "folk," for the "folk," using acoustic (usually stringed) instrumentation; in short an inherently populist medium, often with quite specific political agendas, that deals with identity and history through storytelling. |
