Composed by Jean-Maurice Mourat. Score and parts. Les Productions d'OZ - Digital #DZ 4324. Published by Les Productions d'OZ - Digital (ZZ.DZ-4324).
Ce thème des «Folies d’Espagne», également désigné sous le nom de Follia (en italien) ou communément appelé, Folies d’Espagne, apparaît dans une danse canarienne, puis dans la péninsule ibérique à la fin du Moyen-Âge, c’est-à-dire du XVe siècle.
Construite à partir d’un ostinato, ou basse obstinée, la Folía repose sur un enchaînement harmonique où une mélodie spécifique se dessine, sa construction musicale est répétitive et donc propice aux variations.
L’accompagnement instrumental de cette danse se caractérisait par l’emploi d’instruments sonores (comme la guitare et les percussions). Le terme «folía» désigne à la fois le chant et cette danse pleine d’allégresse, frénétique et «folle».
La musique supplante la danse en transformant la Folía en véritable œuvre instrumentale à part entière, permettant aux compositeurs de faire briller leur créativité en composant des pages musicales d’une grande virtuosité, comme Frescobaldi, Scarlatti, Bach, Corelli, etc, qui s’emparent de ce thème pour en proposer leur propre version.
This theme of the "Follies of Spain", also known as Follia (in Italian) or commonly called, Follies of Spain, appears in a Canarian dance, then in the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the Middle Ages, that is to say in the 15th century.
Built from an ostinato, or obstinate bass, the Folía is based on a harmonic sequence where a specific melody is drawn, its musical construction is repetitive and therefore conducive to variations.
The instrumental accompaniment of this dance was characterized by the use of sound instruments (such as the guitar and percussion). The term "folía" refers to both the song and this dance full of joy, frenetic and "crazy".
Music supplants the dance by transforming the Folía into a true instrumental work in its own right, allowing composers to shine their creativity by composing musical pages of great virtuosity, like Frescobaldi, Scarlatti, Bach, Corelli, etc., who seize this theme to offer their own version.
