Fantasia Quarti Toni ex E La Mi

The fifth fantasia from manuscript Becker II.2.51 is based on the fourth church mode, centered around "E La Mi". This fantasia is based on one theme, though it is clearly divided in three sections. In the first section theme is main theme of the fantasia played in long solemn notes and a beautiful flowing counterpoint. In the second section the theme is played elaborated with eigth notes and is developed in dimunition. In the third and last section the theme is back in long notes, with the counter voices moving in eigth notes. It is the most 'singing' of the fantasias I've played so far. To emphasize this singing character I choose a sample set with a rich reverbaration.
