This music emigrated to America and forms the basis for Appalachian mountain music which evolved into bluegrass and modern country music on the one hand and modern popular music on the other. The songs here range from the deepest traditional song, whose origins may be lost in the mists of time to recently composed work which has roots in the same tradition.
