Charles Ives made many folk song quotations.
Tchaikovsky wrote a set of folk song arrangements for four-hand piano.
Aaron Copland’s Billy the Kid quotes “Goodby, Old Paint.” Copland also made a collection of American folk songs for voice and piano.
William Grant Still wrote a medley of spirituals for voice and orchestra.
Michael Tippet’s oratorio “A Child of Our Time” contains Black spiritual quotations.
Sir William Primrose wrote a set of Black spiritual arrangements for violin and piano.
