music and incorporated it into their folkloristic concert hall  compositions.

This is facinating. I would love to learn more about this. I wonder if this  
is connected with the folk tradition departments in Europe -- a phenomena I  
always found interesting. I have read that these departments are in a bit of a  
crisis in terms of moving toward a more Western Anthropological model.
