Excerpt from A List of All the Songs Passages in Shakspere Which Have Been Set to Music After the first 'Musical Evening' of the New. Shakspere Society, in May, 1883, several Members exprest the wish that the Words of the Songs had been put into their hands, for their memories had sometimes faild them. As the Musical Evening will, no doubt, be repeated every May while the Society lasts, the Committee thought that all Shaksperes Songs and Lines which have been set to Music, had better be printed, with a List of the Composers who have set them, and the Voices which are to sing them, so that the 'Book of the Words' might be a permanent one, and suit all the changing yearly Programs. Accordingly, our Conductor, Mr. James Greenhill, compiled, - from Alfred Roffe's Handbook of Shakspere Music, 1878, and other sources, - a draft List of the Songs and Composers, and I added the Words, from the revises of the Old-Spelling Shakspere edited by Mr. Stone and myself, and from the Quartos and First Folio. The draft 'List' has been checkt by the Rev. W. A. Harrison and me with, and enlarged from, the Shakspere entries in the British Museum Catalog of Authors whose words have been set to Music, many volumes of music, Chappell's Catalogs, c., 2and has been revised by Mr. Wm. Chappell and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
