La Folia〈佛利亞〉是大約源於十五世紀末葡萄牙的一個舞曲，盛行於16-18世紀中期。後來逐漸流傳至歐洲其它國家。因為其旋律深受歡迎，所以有很多作曲家皆試圖拿它的旋律當作一個主題來寫新的變奏曲，不過事實上在經過一、兩百

年的流傳後，佛利亞已有了改變，速度變慢，三拍子中的第二拍為附點形式﹝有點像 Sarabande﹞，和聲及旋律上則大致維持原樣。柯賴里 (A. Corelli 1653-1713)在作品 Op. 5 的最後一首 No. 12 採用了這個 La Folia當作他全曲「主題與變奏」的主題，之後，並發展出二十幾個變奏段落。此後， La Folia 變成作曲家極為喜愛的變奏旋律，大家競相模仿。

I. Music:

The word Folia is Portuguese in origin and refers to a dance, or musical framework in three-time, which originated in the late 15th century.  The word itself means mad or empty headed.  The earliest example of this form of “La Folia” is Gil Vicente(1505). There are so many composere used this setting in their music, such as: D. S. de Badajoz(c1536), Alonso Mudarra (1546), Diego Oritz (1553), Francisco de Salinas (1577), Anon (1593), Mayone (1603), Giovanni M. Trabaci (1603), G. G. Kapsberger (1604), G. Montesardo (1606), Sebastian de Covarrubias (1611), Frescobaldi (1615), Francesco Lambardi (1617), G. Stefani (1622), A. Piccinini (1623), Luis de Briceno (1626), Gonzalo Correa (1626), A. M. Bartolotti (1640), Foscarini (c1640), Corbetta (1643, 1648, 1671, 1674), Falconieri (1650), P. A. Giramo (c1650), B. Storace (1664), Farenelli (1671), Jacques Gallot(1672), Lully (1672), Ximenez (1672), Sanz(1675), Thomas D’Urfey (1682), D’Anglebert(1689), J. P. Fortsch (1690), C. Caresana (1693), Cabanilles (1694), Albicastro (c1700), Corelli (1700), Marais (1701), Vivaldi (1705),  Scarlatti (1715), G. Lambranzi (1716), Tauber (1717), P. Jodelet (1726), Geminiani (1726/7), Matteson (1739), J. S. Bach (1742), M. Yrol (1754), C.P.E. Bach (1776), Gretry (1778), Cherubini (1798), Liszt (1863), Nielson (1906), Rachmaninoff(1934).

It was used by Beethoven too in his Fifth-Symphony where it is quoted in the harmony towards the end of the slow movement---a fact which apparently escaped musicological detection until 1994 when it was recognized by an Open University student Lucy Hayward-Warburton (to be astonishment of her tutor).

The Hyperion Record Co. released 7 CDs about La Folia played by The Purcell Quartet. They are C.P.E. Bach (CDA66239), Corelli(66226), Geminiani(66264), Scarlatti(66254), Vivaldi(66193), and the collection of all 6 La Folia is CDA67035.
