“Traditional” is used as a composer/author credit for folk songs and pieces whose original creators are unknown or lost to history, having been passed down and reshaped through oral transmission across generations. Songs such as “The Water Is Wide” and “Waltzing Matilda” carry this attribution because, although later collectors, publishers, or arrangers documented and popularized specific versions, no single verifiable author can be credited with the original work.

N/A — represents folk-tradition pieces without a single attributable composer.
