Folk-influenced classical music blends elements of traditional folk melodies, rhythms, and harmonies with classical composition techniques. Often inspired by regional or national folk traditions, this style infuses orchestral, chamber, or solo works with dance-like rhythms, modal scales, and lyrical, folk-like melodies. Composers in this genre may adapt folk tunes directly or evoke folk character through instrumentation and ornamentation. The result is a rich fusion of classical structure and folk expressiveness, bridging cultures and eras while preserving the essence of traditional music within a refined, composed framework.
