Thread Name: Origins of traditional songs
Subject: RE: Origins of traditional songs
The songs we now call traditional were composed by people of all classes and professions. The good ones were the ones that survived to enter the repertoire of singers, professional and amateur alike. Tradition is an action,song or other ritual which is performed at certain times of year or in particular circumstances. All classes have traditions not just the everyday working classes.
