This is conventional wisdom, but it's simply untrue. Any culture, at any time, that has an identifiable classical music must also have a popular music lying outside those boundaries.
I agree. Renaissance dance music could be based on popular songs. I believe Martin Luther used dance tunes as the basis for some of his hymn settings. Telemann loved the folk music he encountered in Poland; and it influenced quite a bit of his compositions. You could argue that this folk/popular music, would revitalize the art music of any given period.
