A List Of All The Songs Passages In Shakspere Which Have Been Set To Music Classic Reprint

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.

Excerpt from An Index to the Songs, Snatches, and Passages in Shakespeare Which Have Been Set to Music The accompanying tri e is published in the hope that it may supply what has been felt by the compiler to be a desideratum not only to students and lovers of Shakespeare but also to all who are interested in the wedding of appropriate melodies to 'immortal verse.' It should, at any rate, serve to indicate at once the extent of the poet's lyrical power and the wonderful attraction which the intrinsic music of his verse has had for the artist who seeks to 'all-express' himself in the ordered succession of harmonious sounds.

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
