There's also a bias to composed, notated music in the historical
record -- much "popular music" was non-notated, and since they had no
recordings, it's completely lost. Without the use of the tune in
sacred music by composers such as Josquin, would be even know that
the "L'homme armé" tune existed? We might not.
