Folk songs are primarily communal compositions—that is, they are anonymous expressions of the society or culture that produces them, although the melody and words of a specific song may have had their origin in a single, unknown individual.
In the United States a number of song forms were created during the late 19th and 20th centuries influenced by the songs of the ballad operas.
