SKU: A0.767509

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Mike Lyons. Baroque,Renaissance. 13 pages. Lyons Music Services #4804177. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767509).

A setting of three variations on La Folia for Double Reed Quintet. This piece was an 'earworm' of its day. It was copied and arranged for almost every conceivable type of ensemble by every major composer. The most famous settings are probably those by Purcell, Corelli and Handel, but this is a relatively unknown setting, originally for brass instruments, but it transfers very well onto double reeds.

After the full statement of the theme with simple harmony, there come three variations, each becoming a little more complex using the usual Renaissance/Baroque technique of divisions, whereby each variation uses ever smaller note values.

This set is relatively simple and should not be beyond most ensembles. A great addition to the repertoire.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
