👉 A mensuralist is a type of folkloric music that originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, particularly in New England. The term "mensural" comes from the French word for "seasonal," as it was often used to describe music that was played during different seasons or times of the year. Mensuralists were a group of musicians who composed a vast array of traditional and folk songs that were passed down through generations
