"Antonio Vivaldi's "La Folia" (Madness), arranged by Jeannette Sorrell after Sonata XII
Apollo's Fire - The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra
Live performance, November 1, 2011 - Koerner Hall, Toronto

The Folia was an ancient Spanish/Portuguese dance which traditionally got faster and wilder toward the end. The girls who danced it were said to be "mad," thus the name Folia (madness or folly)."
