La Folia Chords - Classical
La Folia Chords
La Folia Chord by Calculate900 This is an acoustic arrangement for La Folia, one of the oldest European songs in recorded history. The main arrangement is simple, with the progression: Dm A7 Dm C F C Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm C F C A7* Dm However, I've found that this setup sounds most like the original version (the asterisk shows an alternative fingering for the same chord): (From low to high E) Dm- x x 0 2 3 1 A7- x x 2 0 2 0 C- x 3 5 5 5 3 F- x x 3 5 6 5 A7*- 5 7 5 6 5 5 For inexperienced players, the chord progression may be a tad difficult, but once you get it down, it's a nice tune to make variations for.

About the artist behind La Folia Chords:
European classical music is largely distinguished from many other non-European and popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 16th century.[2] Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to the performer the pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms and exact execution of a piece of music. This leaves less room for practices, such as improvisation and ad libitum ornamentation, that are frequently heard in non-European art music (compare Indian classical music and Japanese traditional music), and popular music.[3][4][5]
The public taste for and appreciation of formal music of this type waned in the late 1900s in the United States and United Kingdom in particular.[6] Certainly this period has seen classical music falling well behind the immense commercial success of popular music, in the opinion of some, although the number of CDs sold is not indicative of the popularity of classical music.[7]
The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age.[8] The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1836.[9][10]
