Untutored people had always found vent in this kind of music for pent-up feelings, and the folk-music of the Christian world, during the Crusades, gained a new element in the fragments of Oriental melody transplanted into its midst.
I am thinking of one just now; a mere potsherd of plantation-fiddler's folk-music which I heard first and last in the dance at Gilmer's.
I meant it. You're finding out much quicker than I. It's all folk-music to you still; to me Strauss and the rest of the tired stuff. The variations my mind spins wouldn't I just swap them for the tunes your mind is making?" "I don't seem making tunes at all. I don't seem to have anything to make them of. Take me down to see 'the Tods, Dad!" Why not?
Their ancient folk-music showed three principal styles, the joyous bridal song, the cheerful harvest or vintage song, and the wailing funeral song; and there are many examples of each in the Scriptures. As there was no definite notation among the ancient Hebrews, the actual tunes that were sung with these songs will never be known.
