Learning on Screen"Ay, Prithee, Sing."
- Alternative title
- Music for Shakespeare’s Lyrics
- Synopsis
- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. The majority of Shakespeare’s plays call for singing and while the lyrics to the songs appear to have always been a part of the text, the musical notes for those lyrics have been lost over the years. Over four centuries of staging Shakespeare, directors have explored different approaches to filling in these musical gaps. David Lindley, Professor Emeritus of literature and music at the University of Leeds, is the author of Shakespeare and Music, published 2006 in the Arden Critical Companions series and is here interviewed by Neva Grant.
