Les folies d'Espagne
composed by: Marin Marais
Les folies d'Espagne variations were first published by Jean-Baptiste Lully, but the theme has been composed variations over by an uncountable amount of composers (including my own).
Performed by: Kristian Oma Rønnes
Recorded the 3rd of September 2013.
An article about my piece has been written on "La Folia, a Musical Chatedral", it can be read here: http://www.folias.nl/html5m.html#ron
I played some of the variations by Marin Marais, because as you probably know they are written for Viola da Gamba, and when I am playing them (as a bassoonist) there are certain variations that does not really suit the bassoon, and are intended as more idiomatic string parts. For example variations with essential chords that should be played non arpeggio.
