Mike-

Is a definition of musical tradition, the same thing as as definition of traditional music? Exactly how is traditional music different than popular music? How long does it take for music to become traditional?

Burke- Do you have a definition of "musical tradition" that you can offer?

I don't think anyone has answered Mike's original question which was: Who is the author who coined the definition of "musical tradition," and what is the work in which it was published?
