FANTASIA - LA FOLIA

Like its companion piece, Fantasia Dodecaphonica sopra Amarilli mia bella (available on this site), Fantasia – La Folia can be regarded as a musical descendant of a Telemann fantasia. It also comprises a number of short and varied sections (see Contents). However, La Folia is both complimentary to - and different from – Guilio Caccini’s monody Amarilli. The contrasts are mid vs early Baroque; French vs. Italian Baroque; song vs. instrumental work; and so forth. After many past oboe recitals spent playing Les Folies d'Espagne - both solo and with harpsichord - Les Folies felt like the correct launch material for this second solo fantasia.Fantasia - La Folia requires considerable stamina, a strong technique, and either familiarity with - or willingness to learn - the extended techniques of harmonics/bisbigliando.Certain couplets may be cut, if a shorter duration time is required (as commonly happens with Les Folies d'Espagne). Instructions are given in the Performance Notes section.
