Shakespeare and Music (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512205350)

Shakespeare and Music is a classic Shakespeare studies text by Christopher Wilson. There are many theories to account for the singular absence of contemporary musical settings of Shakespeare's lyrics: a quite possible one being that he wrote his songs to popular tunes of the day, which everyone knew and no one troubled to write down and print. Many of our great revue composers hammer out the tune first and then get some versifier to write words to it.
