La Folia (Folas de Espaa, based on Vivaldi) - Voices of Music (4K)

For this musical work, each performer was given only a bass part and a simple tune--the “bare bones“ of the La Follia dance. The music was improvised, and each performance was different. Alana looks at each musician to show when it’s their turn to solo. Each solo turn is performed in a different style--baroque composers such as Telemann sometimes created suites combining different styles from different countries, so this is part of a long tradition.
