SUMMARY:Folk Music across Time and Culture: Defining Generations through So
 ng
DESCRIPTION:with performer and educator\, Chris Nolan.&nbsp\;Traditional fo
 lk music has been defined in several ways: as music that develops and evol
 ves through oral tradition\, as music of the lower classes and as music fr
 om unknown composers. It&rsquo\;s contrasted with commercial and classical
  styles and is the mantle often given to old songs with no known composers
 . The only two constants for a folk song are the story telling aspect of t
 he lyrics and the melody. During the mid-20th century\, a new form of popu
 lar folk music evolved from traditional folk music\, reaching a zenith in 
 the 1960&rsquo\;s. Many of our &ldquo\;popular songs&rdquo\; have long and
  colorful histories. These wonderful songs with similar themes have emerge
 d from every culture\, educating and entertaining generation after generat
 ion through the centuries.&nbsp\; Join recording and performing artist\, C
 hris Nolan on a musical journey through traditional and popular folk songs
 .&nbsp\;Chris Nolan has written over 200 original songs\, recorded several
  CDs and produced and performed on CDs for other musicians. He performs at
  coffee houses\, for weddings\, and private parties as a one-man-band. Chr
 is has worked on over 30 musicals with ACLOA\, MTS\, Alb. Little Theatre a
 nd for UNM and has taught guitar/bass lessons in Albuquerque since 1981. C
 hris earned two bachelor degrees: Theory & Composition and Music Education
  and a Master&rsquo\;s Degree in Music from UNM. He composed a Suite of Va
 riations based on an Alaskan folk song for his Thesis.&nbsp\;The Osher Lif
