Download or read book Shakespeare And Music written by David Lindley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and comprehensive study examines how music affects Shakespeare's plays and addresses the ways in which contemporary audiences responded to it. David Lindley sets the musical scene of Early Modern England, establishing the kinds of music heard in the streets, the alehouses, private residences and the theatres of the period and outlining the period's theoretical understanding of music. Focusing throughout on the plays as theatrical performances, this work analyzes the ways Shakespeare explores and exploits the conflicting perceptions of music at the time and its dramatic and thematic potential.

Download or read book Music in Shakespearean Tragedy written by Frederick William Sternfeld and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1963. When originally published this book was the first to treat at full length the contribution which music makes to Shakespeare's great tragedies, among them Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Here the playwright's practices are studied in conjunction with those of his contemporaries: Marlowe and Jonson, Marston and Chapman. From these comparative assessments there emerges the method that is peculiar to Shakespeare: the employment of song and instrumental music to a degree hitherto unknown, and their use as an integral part of the dramatic structure.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Music written by Christopher R. Wilson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 1289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This compendium reflects the latest international research into the many and various uses of music in relation to Shakespeare's plays and poems, the contributors' lines of enquiry extending from the Bard's own time to the present day. The coverage is global in its scope, and includes studies of Shakespeare-related music in countries as diverse as China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, and the Soviet Union, as well as the more familiar Anglophone musical and theatrical traditions of the UK and USA. The range of genres surveyed by the book's team of distinguished authors embraces music for theatre, opera, ballet, musicals, the concert hall, and film, in addition to Shakespeare's ongoing afterlives in folk music, jazz, and popular music. The authors take a range of diverse approaches: some investigate the evidence for performative practices in the Early Modern and later eras, while others offer detailed analyses of representative case studies, situating these firmly in their cultural contexts, or reflecting on the political and sociological ramifications of the music. As a whole, the volume provides a wide-ranging compendium of cutting-edge scholarship engaging with an extraordinarily rich body of music without parallel in the history of the global arts"--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Use of Song: With the d104 of the Principal Songs The special study, which forms the burden of these pages, was first undertaken as far back as 1908 - the direct cause was the late Mr. Lewis Waller's transfer of The Owl Song from Love's Labour's Lost to As You Like It. Unfortunately many events conspired to hinder the prosecution of the work - one became involved in military duties in the War, and since then, in common with other peace-loving residents (of whom there are a few, appearances notwithstanding) in Ireland, one has been exposed to many inconveniences. Nothing has been more heartening than the encouragement received from Mr. William Poel, and his kindly advice, to which particular value attaches by reason of his long experience as a producer of Shakespeare's plays, was always beneficial and practical. Mr. W. J. Lawrence, Mr. Percy Simpson, and Dr. E. H. Fellowes were good enough to read over my papers, and I have great pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I have received from their many helpful suggestions. In order fully to grasp the significance of the songs, it was necessary to set them to music. In this task I have had the willing collaboration of Mr. John Vine, and he has further placed me under obligation by performing them in various parts of the country. In this way he has enabled me to put some of my conclusions to the test. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Love and its Critics written by Michael Bryson and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of love and the challenge love offers to the laws and customs of its times and places, as told through poetry from the Song of Songs to John Milton’s Paradise Lost. It is also an account of the critical reception afforded to such literature, and the ways in which criticism has attempted to stifle this challenge. Bryson and Movsesian argue that the poetry they explore celebrates and reinvents the love the troubadour poets of the eleventh and twelfth centuries called fin’amor: love as an end in itself, mutual and freely chosen even in the face of social, religious, or political retribution. Neither eros nor agape, neither exclusively of the body, nor solely of the spirit, this love is a middle path. Alongside this tradition has grown a critical movement that employs a 'hermeneutics of suspicion', in Paul Ricoeur’s phrase, to claim that passionate love poetry is not what it seems, and should be properly understood as worship of God, subordination to Empire, or an entanglement with the structures of language itself – in short, the very things it resists. The book engages with some of the seminal literature of the Western canon, including the Bible, the poetry of Ovid, and works by English authors such as William Shakespeare and John Donne, and with criticism that stretches from the earliest readings of the Song of Songs to contemporary academic literature. Lively and enjoyable in its style, it attempts to restore a sense of pleasure to the reading of poetry, and to puncture critical insistence that literature must be outwitted. It will be of value to professional, graduate, and advanced undergraduate scholars of literature, and to the educated general reader interested in treatments of love in poetry throughout history.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Use of Music The songs in Elizabethan drama written by John Henderson Long and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three volume study examines Shakespeare's use of music, the performed music in the histories, tragedies, and comedies. By the term "use of music" the author means the dramatic functions served by the performed music in those productions of the plays occurring between 1590 and 1615. This includes the manner of performance, the original music scores or notation used (when possible), and the significance of these data to peripheral problems of interpretation, text, staging, and stage history. This study attempts to meet the interests of students of Elizabethan music, drama in performance, and literature, as well as the producers of Shakespeare faced with practical problems. One of the more remarkable characteristics of the English Renaissance is the sense of kinship and close relationship of the arts, and the alert eye for the practical -- an ethos that should guide producers in any time and place.
