Chapter XII FOLK SONGS The folk song was a spontaneous outburst of the people and originated among the peasantry, depicting the familiar experiences of daily life. Professor Biicher of Germany holds the theory that the rhythm of poetry and song had its origin in the rhythm of the physical effort of lifting heavy weights, sawing, dragging, or rowing. History tells us that the original folk song passed from mouth to mouth and was added to and improved upon, until it evolved as a complete melody. ...This was sung by the people and their children, who in turn passed it on to their children. Thus it was repeated, generation after generation. It found its way from its place of origin to other countries and became generally popular. Each country had hundreds of folk songs, but no one knew who conceived them and no one cared. This explains why folk songs are national in character, rather than individual. The life and activities of the people were manifold and gave variety to the songs. The occupation songs of gleaner, fruit picker, shoemaker, and butcher are common to all races, but the key, mode, and tempo reveal the individual characteristics.
