BELLADONNA
BAROQUE QUARTET
Margaret Humphrey • Baroque Violin ~ Cléa Galhano • Recorders
Rebecca Humphrey • Baroque 'Cello ~ Barbara Weiss • Harpsichord
From the boisterous street festivals of fifteenth-century Portugal to the refirned entertainments of royal festival courts, folias carried the spontaneous energy of popular music into the world of art music.

The selections on this recording include folias from Spain, Italy, and France, along with pieces built upon other ground-bass dances or incorporating dance rhythms in their structures. …
