Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal
of disagreement as to what it actually means The definition provided by the International FolkMusic Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on fromperson to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page Other factors thathelp shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation(changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and
selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves)
When songs have been subjected to these processes, their origin is usually impossible to
trace For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friendswho like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of themmight forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the others, perhapsmore artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines oftext If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's originalcomposer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property This constant
reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music Consequently, modern popular songs and
other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians,are not considered folk music
The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope forfurther artistic creation These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belongprimarily to the composer and not to a community
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community In such asetting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, fromchildhood to death Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, andoccupational songs are also likely to be sung

The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal
of disagreement as to what it actually means The definition provided by the International FolkMusic Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on fromperson to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page Other factors thathelp shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation(changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and
selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves)
When songs have been subjected to these processes, their origin is usually impossible to
trace For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friendswho like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of themmight forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the others, perhapsmore artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines oftext If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's original
Trang 13composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property This constant
reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music Consequently, modern popular songs and
other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians,are not considered folk music
The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope forfurther artistic creation These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belongprimarily to the composer and not to a community
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community In such asetting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, fromchildhood to death Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, andoccupational songs are also likely to be sung
