Music in Peasant and Folk Societies
Volkslied –– German for “folksong” of traditional European societies, included under this single term by the end of the eighteenth-century
Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) –– a German folklorist who grew up in the Baltic area of Eastern Europe. He coined the term Volkslied, and the collection and study of folk music spread throughout Europe.

The Individual and Society, Creativity
and Community In the idealized folk society, all music
theoretically belongs to the community. The total musical product depends on a group’s willingness to subsume individual identity into that of the ensemble.

Musical Professionalism and
Social Structure Periodic attempts to keep instruments out
of Christian religious music are among the hallmarks of conservative religious movements. The Puritans, when they ascended to power in 1649, forming the English Commonwealth, inveighed against instruments in churches and ordered that organs be destroyed.

Music and History Folk music has been seen as a means of
revealing and articulating history in both musical and cultural ways. But the construction of history out of folk song styles has clear ideological and nationalistic implications. The historicization of national music, too, was a statement of identity serving political ends. Is the same strategy still used today? Folk music is periodically revitalized to highlight contemporary political issues.

Music in Peasant and Folk Societies:
“Folk music” was an eighteenth-century concept, part of a larger intellectual movement that romanticized rural life.
![Page 13: The Music Of Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56816737550346895ddbe89d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Music in Urban Society:
Urbanization was on the increase during this period. “The folk” represented an earlier, more innocent era viewed through the fuzzy light of nostalgia by displaced city dwellers. In the city, there was an increasing tendency toward specialization of musicians: hereditary musical castes (Gypsies) and ascribed outsiders (Jewish musicians) were assigned the low status task of providing entertainment music to order.

National Styles: More the result of politics than of a
consistent and unified history, “national musics” may combine disparate styles and repertoires from different parts of a country, symbolizing a modern kind of unity.

Concerts and the Virtuoso:
Another legacy of the 19th century was the rise of virtuosity. The virtuoso became a celebrity for whom normal social mores were suspended. In many ways, the “Great Artist” was as much of a marginal person as the professional specialist, for whom normal mores were also relaxed: they were troublemakers, attractive lovers, and had the freedom to move around.

Hearing the Folk in Classical and the Classical in Folk Music:
Listening to classical music selections of any European classical or nationalist composer, including Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Sibelius, etc., students should be able to conceptualize the folk melodies in the art music context.

What can we classify as the folk music of our country, and how have nationalist composers incorporated it into their compositions?
Jazz? Rock? Pop? Rap?

What types of music might we find in our society which are communal and egalitarian, as are folk music types of Europe, or even Africa or Indonesia?
