“Measure for Measure: The Music of Shakespeare’s Plays”

The program is a rare and compelling view of the music Shakespeare’s audiences would have heard, including music by the leading composers of his day (Thomas Morley, Robert Johnson, John Dowland, others) and anonymous tunes of the period. Music from As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Henry V, The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and other plays. It is performed on renaissance flutes, viola da gamba and renaissance lute, with vocalist Burcu Gulec.
