The Shakespeare Band presents the spine-tingling stuff of the Bubonic plague in the 17th-century. Shakespeare lived during the time of the Black Death and this had a profound effect on his plays and on the music of his time. We use authentic instruments, including the lute, hurdy gurdy, recorder and flute, and Renaissance guitar to play the music of 16th-century composers, including John Dowland, broadside ballads, and other tunes from the Renaissance. By combining our music with soliloquies delivered by our actress, you will be transported into an emotional portrait of Shakespeare’s time that is as potent now as it was then. The ballad tunes in Shakespeare’s plays were well known to his audience and we are delighted to bring them to life once again. Join The Shakespeare Band as we explore both the lighter and the darker side of Renaissance music.

lute and Soliloquy - Tina Gutierrez and Suz Flemming Smith
Their music and Soliloquy Program combines music that was likely used in Shakespeare's original productions with text from the corresponding scripts. The program is an embodiment of early music research that identifies the songs Shakespeare alludes to in his plays; it is intended to be a small scale recreation of the multi-layered, sensual experience of Shakespeare’s original patrons. When Shakespeare’s plays were realized on the Elizabethan stage, they were full of popular music of the day. Shakespeare used music to frame the emotion of a scene, to joke with the audience, and to imply meanings. The original audiences at the Globe had an elevated experience: music, a powerfully evocative art form, was used in conjunction with Shakespeare’s sublime poetry. A modern audience misses much in the omission of this musical dimension. Through lute and soliloquy, the audience is transported into an emotional portrait of Shakespeare’s time that is as potent now as it was then. Music, a universal language, opens a doorway to a rediscovery of Shakespeare’s poetry. |
