Subject: RE: Article discussion:'There’s nowt so fake as folk'
A rose by any other name! So would the Baroque influence have been introduced by secular music? Is that influence only found in Scotland, or does it turn up in English Folk Song. If it does could you quote a well known example to demonstrate for me/us? I am aware that Folk and art music are roots from the same tree, however musical origins have always been a little awkward for me to understand. I realise of course nothing is hard and fast, but we are left with a balance of probabilities I suspect.
