Thread Name: writing melodies to modern folk songs
Subject: writing melodies to modern folk songs
Since it seems to be the practice in the uk and irish folk revival to write tunes to tradtional sounding songs that consist of 3 or 4 modes only, is there not a possibilty that the number of new tunes available will run out?is the idea of writing traditional sounding songs that are restriucted to 4 modes, one that will eventually lead to a stagnation of melodic creativity?
