I think of the various folk music influences as 20th century. In some
ways V-W's modalities are more modern than the chromaticism of, say,
Strauss.

Folk ?

Sandy Denny.

I like Sandy Denny, but I'm thinking more of V-W, Grainger, Bartok,
Kodaly, Stravinsky, Granados, etc, using folk tunes as a basis for new
approaches to tonality.

That's not what I call 'folk' no matter how good it may be. Anything
orchestral is quite another matter to my mind.

It doesn't matter what you call it, and I am not referring specifically
to orchestral music or to arrangements of folk tunes. It's a long way
from a folk tune to a Bartok string quartet.
