2:16 Recercada Ottava sopra “la Folia” (viol, harpsichord)

Diego Ortiz, a well travelled Spanish composer from Toledo, published his collection of Recercadas, titled "Tratado de Glosas" in Rome in 1553. One edition was printed in Italian, the other in Spanish. Although his arrangements are based on tunes that were widely familiar to early 16th Century audiences, Tratado was a first-of-its-kind compilation of original music specifically targeting bowed instruments (vihuelas de arco or bowed violas). It explored the expressive range and virtuosic potential of th...
