Folk music(1)
Folk music develops from a specific region, nation, or ethnic group and reflects the spirit of the people who produce it. In the US, folk music includes ballads, work songs, spirituals, blues, and other genres that have been influenced by both Anglo and African traditions. As populations migrated, folk music styles mixed and new genres like blues developed from cross-cultural influences. Folk music is traditionally transmitted orally and through memory rather than written music.
Folk music part 1
This document provides an overview of the history and development of folk music in America. It discusses how folk music originated from British ballads and songs brought over by immigrants. These songs were passed down orally through generations living in isolation in the Appalachian Mountains. Scholars like Francis Child began collecting and documenting these ballads in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, collectors like Cecil Sharp traveled to Appalachia seeking "authentic" folk music still using old British tunes. Their field collections helped popularize folk music again but were also subject to cultural biases. The document examines debates around what constituted "authentic" versus commercialized folk music in America.

Genre of music
Classical music originated in Western traditions from the 11th century to present day.

While originally using harps, lutes and woodwinds, classical music now occasionally incorporates electric instruments. It is regularly used as background music and some great composers include Edvard Grieg and Antonio Vivaldi. Parents often enroll children in classical training for discipline and education. Classical music is produced in a studio to precisely record all musical elements at the highest quality. Its target audience is generally people over 30 who can afford the sometimes expensive genre.

While their relationship was strained due to his modifications, Glover's vision of teaching sound before symbols through solfege laid the foundation for modern approaches to music education.

Jass Becomes Jazz
The document summarizes the origins and development of jazz music in the 1920s. It discusses how the Great Migration led many African Americans to move from the rural South to northern cities like Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Philadelphia. In these cities, rent parties featuring boogie woogie piano styles emerged. Technological advances also helped spread jazz, with Thomas Edison developing the phonograph in 1877 and early jazz recordings by bands like the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Louis Armstrong significantly innovated jazz in the 1920s through his melodic and rhythmic style and approach to improvisation. However, some saw jazz as a corrupting influence associated with the underclass.

Harlem Renaissance Music
The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s-1930s saw the flourishing of African American art, music, dance and literature in Harlem, New York. Migrants brought blues and spiritual musical traditions with African roots. Major influences included the blending of African cultures during slavery, European Christianity, and Negro spirituals. Famous musicians included Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellington. Nightlife venues like the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom featured performances and dancing like the Lindy Hop. Music of the time had social and cultural impacts for African Americans and influenced later genres.
Music & Society Jazz History in brief
Jazz originated in New Orleans in the late 19th century, developing from African rhythms played in Congo Square. Ragtime, with its syncopated rhythms, evolved into early jazz. Buddy Bolden is considered the first jazz bandleader in New Orleans. Jazz then spread north to Chicago and beyond. Swing became a national craze in the 1930s led by bandleaders like Duke Ellington. Bebop arose in the 1940s as a reaction against swing, led by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Jazz has continued evolving, exploring rock fusion and many other styles over the decades.

Ht burleigh
H.T. Burleigh was an influential African American composer and arranger born in 1866 in Erie, Pennsylvania. He studied at the National Conservatory of Music in New York, where he worked closely with Antonín Dvorák. Dvorák encouraged Burleigh to arrange and preserve American spirituals. Burleigh went on to arrange over 100 spirituals and compose over 200 original art songs. He had a successful career as a singer, music editor, and composer, becoming the first African American on the board of directors of ASCAP. Burleigh helped establish the spiritual as an American musical genre and promote appreciation of African American music.
Early American Concert Music
Early American concert music developed between the mid-19th to late-19th centuries. Notable virtuoso performers like Jenny Lind, Ole Bull, and Louis Moreau Gottschalk toured America, helping grow interest in art music. American composers like Anthony Philip Heinrich were among the first to be popular before the Civil War. The Second New England School, centered around Boston, featured composers like John Knowles Paine, Edward MacDowell, and Amy Beach who embraced German ideals of concert music while incorporating American themes. Antonín Dvořák influenced American nationalism during his directorship of the National Conservatory in New York in the 1890s.
