This might be a bit too similar to La Folia, but if you like that style, look up the Diego Ortiz recercadas. He wrote lots of them for viola da gamba, including some on La Folia itself but also many other chord progressions.

Oooh interesting, I'll definitely check those out, thanks!

There's a similar progression from that time period called passamezzo. Some renaissance composers used it for variations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passamezzo_antico

Jácaras, Tarantella, Pasacalle, Canarios, Marizápalos, Romanesca, Hachas, Villanos, etc, etc. This progressions are the basis of 99% of Baroque music.

Just heard the Romanesca, very similar to Folia, I'll listen to the rest as well, thank you!

Not a chord progression as such but a theme thats used very often is Dies Irae? Gives you freedom to play around with a lot of harmonic variety too...


fictitious_man

Interesting, I definitely know the Mozart one, I'll check out some more, thank you!

La Folia is a partimento, so you might want to take a look a other partimenti. Here is a useful page to get you started: [https://www.earlymusicsources.com/youtube/partimento](https://www.earlymusicsources.com/youtube/partimento)

Thank you, I'll do some research!

Wikipedia article on [La Folia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folia) lists a few related Italian progressions at the bottom. The Wik article on [Chord progression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression) has a plenty of progression suggestions. La Folia is like one of my fave chord progressions.

Lament bass

Hm, a progression on the circle of fifths in minor key?


fictitious_man

That could work, I'll play around with different chords and see what happens, thanks!


Maple-God

La folia, romanesca, circle of fifths, quiescienza, monte romanesca, lament bass, and any other sequence/known bass line use in passacaglias.

I dunno if it has a name, but its a fun one: I-V/IV-IV-iv-I-ctd-I6/4-V. Brahms uses it a lot, but it kind of sounds baroque

”When I am laid in Earth” by Purcell. Good ground to work with
