The origin and influence of music

Question 1: Please discuss, in one or two paragraphs, as many of the contributing factors as you can, that
are related to the development of folk music, country music, musical theater & popular music in North
America. | am asking only about the “origins” or “beginnings” of these four genres. Your answer should
include something about the people who came to this country and the specific musical tradition they
brought with them. And, you should also include what the music was like and which of the four genres
(above) that it infiuenced.
Question 2: What if that small group in Florence, Italy had not set out to recreate what they thought was the
musical drama of ancient Greece? What if they had not accidentally invented European opera instead? Do
you think we would still have a strong musical theater tradition in the West today? And if we did still have
an important musical theater tradition, what might it be like?
