Subject: RE: Is this folk music?
A "what is poetry?" debate would be interesting. As for this one, it sounds like are you comparing great poetry to the musical example under discussion, simply because it doesn't follow the "normal" musical rules. "...sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused..."?? Great poetry -- or great art of any type -- requires a honing of skills and a close attention to how those skills are being used. I'm hearing the opposite here.
