		The most popular songs in America during the late 18th century, as judged by reported sales of printed music, were written by professional English composers for performance in London parks (known as pleasure gardens) or for performance in English ballad and comic opera.
		British pop bands, raised on the influences of blues, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, invigorated mainstream popular music, in part by reemphasizing long-standing aspects of American music.

	Music 43300, Issues in the Analysis of Popular Music
		I began by noting connections between folk and popular music (realizing that both terms are deeply problematical), most particularly in their musical materials: both tend toward simplicity in pitch materials, with complex contrapuntal or harmonic structures being relatively rare; both tend toward immediacy rather than abstraction, and so on.
		Distinctions between "popular" music and "folk" music seemed more reflective of marketing positions than musicological fact, or were (as D. Davies put it) self-fashionings intended to establish a pragmatic identity (with the pragmatic aspect returning once again to the matter of music as commodity).
		Thus "folk" music is, perhaps, more properly thought of as a style of performance in which non-electric (i.e., acoustic) instruments are prominent, in which the lyrics tell a story and are often predominant, where diatonic or modal pitch structures predominate, and in which rhythmic structure is generally simple.

	Early British Folk Music
		Folk is the music of the common man, a constantly evolving tradition which has developed over centuries through an oral tradition and become part of a people's or a nation's heritage.
		A huge variety of folk music has grown up worldwide, the scope of which is far too great for this history, which confines itself to the development of folk music in British Isles due to leading role it played in the musical development of North America, the cradle of popular music.
