Shakespeare's Use of Music: A Study of the Music and Its Performance in the Original Production of Seven Comedies (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Shakespeare’s Use of Music offers a focused look at how songs, dances, and musical cues shaped the comedies on stage.
This study examines how music functions in Shakespeare’s plays, with attention to performance practices and the relationship between text, song, and scene.
The author analyzes the original production of seven comedies, drawing on how musical elements—singing, dancing, and instrumental underscoring—helped tell the story and set the mood. While the discussion centers on performance, it also clarifies what the text implies about music and stage directions in early editions.- How music defines fairy, mortal, and masque scenes
- Connections between dialogue, song structure, and dramatic effect
- The use of period instruments and musical forms in Elizabethan drama
- Notes on text versions and what they reveal about staging
