“The hour-long program, titled “Folk Influences,” began with Hernández Rosa’s arrangement of the 17th-century Scottish tune For Lack of Gold I Lost Her. Recorded remotely from each musician’s home, the heartfelt playing by Hernández Rosa, Huizinga, and McCormick perfectly set the stage for the topic of the evening.

Hernández Rosa told Nagy that her two loves are early music and folk music, and that she often imagines Telemann and Bach hearing fiddle tunes in the local pubs. She went on to introduce one of her recent projects — transforming Telemann’s “Gigue” from his Sonata in D into a piece of folk music. The video of Hernández Rosa, Daniel Turkos on bass, and Paul Holmes Morten on Baroque guitar did make you want to move your feet.”
