Explanation:
Folk songs represent the culture of contemporary society just as they represent the culture of past generations. How can they do both? Folk songs are most often written to tell a story about the human condition, and many of these stories are about finding or losing love, deceit, war, and natural disasters. A cheating lover is something that contemporary composers write about, and it is a popular subject of folksongs around the globe, as is star crossed love. War is still a lose-lose proposition for all sides just as it was centuries past. These common themes tie us to our ancestors through song. Contemporary folk songs are being composed every day by people like Kate Rusby, Emily Smith, Julie Miller, and John Prine just to name a few. Though the theme may be the same, the props within the song are updated- cell phones, cars, trains, buses, etc.
Folk songs record history, the human condition, and language. I teach elementary general music using a curriculum based on folk songs from around the world. These songs have survived centuries because they contain quality text written to quality music.
