Right near the beginning of s2 e3, there's another classical banger: La Folia. The first instance of the bassline shows up around 1670, and then for centuries, composers all over Europe have a go at writing variations on it. (Honestly, composers are still having a go at it, not limited to in Europe. This website attempts to catalogue all the compositions based on or inspired by La Folia, and, well, there are A LOT.

What we hear in this episode is a "later folia," in which a set melody in a minor key is put over that bassline. The result is a sober, stately dance tune, in a triple meter, with the emphasis on the second beat, which shows up in the beginning and ending of later folia settings. (In between the beginning and end, composers improvise more freely, as performers would in jazz or blues.)

Lully, Corelli, Marin Marais (whom I imprinted on), Alessandro Scarlatti and Vivaldi all had Folia variations in circulation by the time Ed and Stede met, though we know that this show is historically inspired rather than tied to history.

The piece's title means "madness" or "folly"-- perhaps of the sort that might lead you to bellyflop into the ocean to board a ship with no sails and no wheel, in the hope that someone you love is still there and alive.
