The group’s repertory is quite wide and eclectic and ranges from sacred and secular early music to contemporary works. Besides singing some of the most important Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces, by composers such as Victoria, Palestrina, Byrd, Monteverdi, Purcell, Handel and Bach, the group has also premiered several contemporary pieces and made first modern auditions of many Portuguese Renaissance and Baroque works. Christopher Bochmann, Ivan Moody, Bob Chilcott, Luis Tinoco, Eurico Carrapatoso and Vasco Mendonça are some of the composers who dedicated works to Grupo Vocal Olisipo. Grupo Vocal Olisipo attended several masterclasses led by some of the world leading vocal ensembles, such as The King's Singers and the Hilliard Ensemble and was coached in the performance of Baroque music by Jill Feldman. In 1995, the group won an honorary mention in the Portuguese Musical Youth Contest and was a finalist ...    less

This a-cappella 4-voice version uses three altos and one bass, a cappella. It explores a couple of alternative modes for the theme: Octatonic and Dorian. Singing of folia this old tune repeats all day and even in the new Octatonic mode we can sing folia all the day long in this five time and we sing it in Octatonic mode madness all is madness while we're singing of la folia and in five time and Octatonic mode can't leave off la folia it will drive me round the bend soon and I'll shortly change to some other mode Sing it in the Dorian sing it in the Dorian oh I love the Dorian it makes me dream on  less
