GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Art/Literary - Music
English term or phrase: fallow/fallowest
We all know that these [musical] traditions came into existence as hybrid forms; that their richest periods will be the ones of assimilation, the **fallowest** in which their proponents subscribe to an inherited version of that music.

J'ai pensé à "en sommeil", parce que "en jachère" me semble plus négatif en français, mais je ne suis pas satisfaite.
Des suggestions ? Merci !
