  Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Art songs are songs created for performance in their own right, or for the purposes of a European upper class, usually with piano accompaniment, although they can also have other types of accompaniment such as an orchestra or string quartet, and are always notated.
The German word for song, "Lied" (plural: "Lieder"), is used in French and English-speaking communities to refer to the serious art song, whereas in German-speaking communities the word "Kunstlied" (plural: "Kunstlieder") is used to distinguish art song from folk song ("Volkslied").
Folk songs are songs of often anonymous origin (or are public domain) that are transmitted orally.

Folk songs are primarily communal compositions—that is, they are anonymous expressions of the society or culture that produces them, although the melody and words of a specific song may have had their origin in a single, unknown individual.
These three features of the folk song are also characteristic of the earliest form of art song of which fairly complete records remain: the Gregorian chant used in the service of the Christian church during the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century).
In the 16th century the lute song was developed by the lute composers of Spain, England, and France, who customarily sang their songs to their own lute accompaniment.

 Song of Solomon, Song of Songs
For the Song's original audience, her reference to the king's numerous female admirers might conjure the image of a harem, and—even before mention is made of Solomon's tapestries—those who were familiar with Solomon's reputation as a great lover might guess that he is the noble king in question.
As the author of the Song pleads the case for her protagonists in the "court of love," she is also pleading for open recognition of the marital partnership of the god and goddess—Yahweh and Asherah—as two aspects of the Source of life.

SONG [song] relatively brief, simple vocal composition, usually a setting of a poetic text, often strophic, for accompanied solo voice.
