Answer to Question 1

Folk music:
music performed by and for close-knit communities
traditionally rural and geographically isolated

music disseminated predominantly by oral tradition (now including radio, recordings, television, and film) but also by print tradition (broadsides, songsters)

Popular music:
music created for and enjoyed by a vast majority of people, undefined by region
produced by skilled professionals

disseminated first, primarily by notation, sheet music; later, oral tradition (radio, recordings, television, and film)

does not depend on mass appeal for its existence
produced by highly-skilled professionals
