Conclusion
"Scarborough Fair" is a song that can be sung by any person, whereas "Tibetan Plateau" is a song that even some professional singers are unable to perform. The vocal range for "Scarborough Fair" far smaller and simpler than the staggering vocal range of "Tibetan Plateau", which immediately sets different tones for each song. In addition, the folk-like, domestic triple meter of "Scarborough Fair" contrasts greatly with the wildly expressive, irregular meter of the "Tibetan Plateau". Despite this, these two songs share many traits as they create emotional melodies that can be easily remembered. Using musical motifs with very little variation, instrumental interludes that called back to the original melody, a homophonic texture that brings out a solo female voice, and strophic form, these two songs repeatedly emphasized emotional lyrics such as "then he'll be a true love of mine" and "that's my homeland, the Tibetan Plateau". As a result, both songs have become beloved representations of the culture that they belong to. In conclusion, despite arising from two very distinct cultures, it is evident that both songs share a strong resemblance.
