    Default Alessandro Scarlatti: La Folia

    We're back -- thanks to Scott and Dan for the hard work!

    I posted this on the brief excursion into a parallel universe, and as it didn't make the return trip I'm reposting.

    Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725): La Folia

    This short set of four variations on the La Folia (Folies d'Espagne) theme was originally written for solo harpsichord and is now widely used as a student keyboard etude.

    I have adapted the keyboard score into a trio of mandolin, mandocello and tenor guitar. It translates pretty much intact -- the only significant change I made to the score was to use more mandolin-friendly chord shapes in the third variation, and add guitar chords for the Folia progression. I attach the score with the bass part in octave treble clef (for guitar or OM) and in bass clef (for mandocello).

    1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
    Suzuki MC-815 mandocello
    Vintage Viaten tenor guitar
