Classical music
Composers of classical music have often made use of folk music (music created by musicians who are commonly not classically trained, often from a purely oral tradition). Some composers, like Dvorak and Smetana, have used folk themes to impart a nationalist flavor to their work, while others like Bartok have used specific themes lifted whole from their folk-music origins.
