The aim of this study is to increase understanding of folk music
within an historical, European framework, and to show the genre as
a dynamic and changing art form. The book addresses a plethora of
questions through its detailed examination of a wide range of music
from vastly different national and cultural identities. It attempts
to elucidate the connections between, and the varying development
of, the music of peoples throughout Europe, firstly by examining
the ways in which scholars of different ideological and artistic
ambitions have collected, studied and performed folk music, then by
investigating the relationship between folk and popular music. Jan
Ling is Professor of Musicology at Goteborg University, Sweden.
