Reply To: Medieval melody “La Folia” in film music?
According to Wikipedia plenty of usages and it mentions Vangelis and Richter and also Tangerine Dream:
The final section of Force Majeure by the electronic music group Tangerine Dream is built upon the later La Follia progression, and is specifically referenced in the fifth track from their 2014 work Josephine The Mouse Singer, titled “Arcangelo Corelli’s La Folia.” It is also used in the Taizé chant “Laudate Dominum.”[11] The main theme of Vangelis’ Conquest of Paradise resembles the rhythmic paradigm of la folia intentionally. The chord progression is also used in the Britney Spears song, Oops!… I Did It Again, 2000. The Folia is used extensively in Max Richter’s 2017 album Three Worlds: Music from Woolf Works.[12]
