Volkslied
Volkslied (literally: folk song) is a genre of popular songs in German which are traditionally sung. While many of them were first passed orally, several collections were published from the late 18th century. Later, some popular songs were also included in this classification. History The earliest songs in German appeared in the 12th century. Art songs were created by minstrels and meistersinger while cantastoria (''Bänkelsänger'') sang songs in public that were orally transmitted. Song collections were written from the late 15th century, such as ''Lochamer-Liederbuch'' and ''Glogauer Liederbuch''. Georg Forster's ''Frische teutsche Liedlein'' was first printed in 1536.

Johann Gottfried Herder coined the term 'Volkslied' in the late 18th century, and published ''Von deutscher Art und Kunst'' (On German ways and artist ...

Suite (music)
A suite, in Western classical music and jazz, is an ordered set of instrumental or orchestral/ concert band pieces. It originated in the late 14th century as a pairing of dance tunes and grew in scope to comprise up to five dances, sometimes with a prelude, by the early 17th century. The separate movements were often thematically and tonally linked. The term can also be used to refer to similar forms in other musical traditions, such as the Turkish fasıl and the Arab nuubaat. In the Baroque era, the suite was an important musical form, also known as ''Suite de danses'', ''Ordre'' (the term favored by François Couperin), ''Partita'', or ''Ouverture'' (after the theatrical " overture" which often included a series of dances) as with the orchestral suites of Christoph Graupner, Telemann and J.S. Bach. During the 18th century, the suite fell out of favour as a cyclical form, giving way to the symphony, sonata and concerto. It was revived in the later 19th century, but in a ...
