How does WOM define “classical, “popular, “and “folk” music?
What will be an ideal response?
- "Classical music" receives significant institutional support; frequently relies on written sources (music notation); and has a long tradition of musical literacy, which facilitates large performing ensembles.
- "Popular music" generally receives support from commercial institutions and is disseminated through mass media (e.g., CDs, radio/television films/DVDs, etc.).
- "Folk music" is "music of the people"; tends to be more regional and may or may not have commercial or institutional support; and is often mediated through oral tradition rather than by written/printed music notation.
