| La Follia for recorder ensemble La Follia is an old chord progression that has inspired many composers. Including me! Listen This is a work in progress. I'm happy with the first 1:30, the variations after that need elaborating a bit more. Victor.  |

| This is a great piece, probably the best i've ever heard for a recorder ensemble. Both the composing and the performance I find outstanding. What is the instrumentation? I'm also intrigued that recorders can play chromatically. How is this done? |

| Thanks for the compliments. The first 1:30 has 4 altos, two tenors, bass and great bass. After that two sopranos are added, starting with the chromatic parts. In the very last line I add sopranino and gar klein, so that's 10 parts plus 2 optional. Playing chromatically on a recorder is quite possible. It's just hard. By the way, I tried to play this live a while ago with some friends. The 4-over-3 passage turned out to be hard, and the little bit of hokket was completely impossible. Victor. |

| Very nice. I like the folia progression myself. (I also like the passamezzo antico and massamezzo moderna too.) Some of my tangos have a folia progression somewhere inside. More: http://www.folias.nl/ |

| Yes, altogether nice. Sounds like some quite difficult parts there.  |

| Wow, Wonderful piece! Reminded me of some old styled medieval movies, very good! Is there a place I could download this? I'd love to listen while I work on my PC |

| I put a tango based on the folia progression on the solo/duo forum. |
