appropriation (music)

"Gino Stefani makes appropriation the chief criterion for his 'popular' definition of melody (Stefani 1987a). Melody, he argues, is music 'at hand'; it is that dimension which the common musical competence extracts (often with little respect for the integrity of the source), appropriates and uses for a variety of purposes: singing, whistling, dancing, and so on." (Middleton, p.96) "Jnos Marthy defines the 'folkloric' itself in terms of appropriation: the making, from whatever materials, of 'a music other folk art of your own' (Marthy 1981)." (Middleton, p.139)
