Excerpt from Shakespeare's Use of Music
For my texts I have used modern editions, the First Folio of 1623, and relevant quartos. All quotations, unless otherwise noted, are from G. B. Harrison's edition of the plays. Line numbers follow the Globe edition.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the dramatic use of music in Shakespeare's historical plays, focusing on the period between 1590 and 1615. The author examines the functions of performed music in the plays, its manner of performance, and the original scores or notation used, when possible. The author also investigates how these musical elements contribute to the interpretation, staging, and stage history of the plays. The book is particularly insightful on the use of music in Shakespeare's first tetralogy, comprised of the three parts of Henry VI and Richard III. The author demonstrates how Shakespeare employs music to enhance pageantry, move large groups of actors onstage and offstage, and even to underscore the stark contrast between the noble ideals of the time and the political maneuvering and betrayal that drive the plots. The author reveals the significance of the frequent use of the "flourish," a musical fanfare, in the plays, arguing that its ironic contrast with the characters' actions creates a complex rhetorical effect. Through the analysis of the tetralogy, the author presents a fascinating insight into the relationship between music, politics, and drama in Shakespeare's work. The book is an invaluable resource for students of Elizabethan music, drama in performance, and literature, as well as anyone interested in the practical considerations of staging Shakespeare.
