Baroque and Wine: A Trip to Würzburg
The composer Andrea Falconieri, who lived in Naples, was one of the first to popularize the dance rhythms of the folia around the year 1650. From Naples, the folia spread to Rome and Venice, and on to central Europe. This program takes us along on that journey.
A young organist and composer in Cremona, Italy by the name of Tarquinio Merula used the crazy obsessive rhythm of the folia in songs like Folle é ben che si crede, beginning with the words: Anyone who thinks that I can be kept away from my sweetheart by tender glances or by slander is crazy.

While listening to WDPG Discover Classical Radio, I heard the program host say that the lovely piece I’d just heard, a work by composer William Grant Still, had been chosen in honor of Black History Month. I am embarrassed to admit that until that moment, I had no idea that Still was black, that he has an Ohio connection, or that his work is deemed to have changed American classical music forever; here is some of what I learned about this amazing man.
