 | | 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. | | | It is distinguished from the folk song—that is, a song, typical of a musically unsophisticated culture, that is originated by, and is part of the tradition of, a people. | | | 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). |

| | Musical Forms - Song |
| | In France Schubert's songs contributed to the rise of the Melodie, the French counterpart to the lied, brought to perfection by Fauré, Duparc and Debussy. | | | Some medieval chant may have been influenced by popular song, but the evidence of surviving melodies is useless for reconstructing it. | | | A far-reaching division occurred in the early 19th-century song repertory between a large 'popular' category (recreational song for a mass middle-class market, song for edifying the lower and poorer classes, folksong etc) and a smaller 'serious' type which started primarily with Schubert. |

| | Although best known as the song adopted by the Confederacy, "Dixie" was also Abraham Lincoln's favorite song, and it was played at his inauguration. | | | Even though Abe Lincoln loved and supported the song, Dan Emmett was ostracized in the North for writing a song associated with the South. | | | Emmett had indicated that the melody was partially inspired by a tune his mother sung to him as a child, while others believe a similar tune was sung around plantations and around the Mississippi River for several generations. |
