Thread Name: Creating modern traditional music
Subject: RE: Creating modern traditional music
Interested in that Les B, and also when something is adopted into 'your' when is it yours and when does it stop being someone elses? i.e. Irish music played in Scotland by Scotish people in an Scottish/Irish style. Is that still Irish music? or Hungarian peasant melodies played by the gypsys for a century, gaining their style is that still hungarian music, or gypsy music.
If the gypsies had lived in Hungary for 100 years, when do they become part fo the Hungarian tradition? If a tune has been played in Scotland for 100 years, when is it a Scottish tune?
I'm sure that'll get some comments!!!
