Cascadian Chorale: Shakespeare and Friends
The words of William Shakespeare continue to resound today, four hundred years after the dramatist lived. Composers have always been drawn to his texts, such as the twentieth-century English giant Ralph Vaughan Williams. We will also explore four living composers, including the Finn Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, and their diverse settings of Shakespeare. To further demonstrate the artistic climate in which Shakespeare flourished, we will present works from his era as well as settings of his contemporary poets.
Shakespeare settings Moonlight Music, by Eric William Barnum Double, double, toil and trouble, by Jaakko Mäntyjärvi Summer Sonnet, by Kevin Olson new commission by Reginald Unterseher Full fathom five, by Reginald Unterseher Three Shakespeare Songs, by Ralph Vaughan Williams
Settings of Shakespeare-era poets Slow fresh fount, by William Horsley Never weather-beaten sail, by Sir Hubert Parry Lay a garland, by Robert Lucas Pearsall A Litany, by William Walton
Music of Shakespeares time Weep, O mine eyes, by John Bennet Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone, by John Farmer The silver swan, by Orlando Gibbons A Round of Three Country Dances in One, by Thomas Ravenscroft
