About this book
Shakespeare and Music comes with illustrations from the music of the 16th and 17th centuries, by Edward W. Naylor. The text says the musical stage directions belong chiefly to the tragedies, and are mostly of a military nature. The text cites Morley, Plain and Easy Introduction to Practical Music, 1597, for a dinner-party, or banket, at which the conversation was entirely about music.
The words Make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob are taken up, and in the next verses this is said to consist of various musical instruments, for example the tabret, harp, lute, and trumpet. Dr Plot was present at the annual Bull-running held by the Minstrels of Tutbury, one of the features of which festivity was a banquet, with a Noise of musicians playing to them. The entries listed, among others, include Masque and Triumph, Bacon's Essay on, Melancholy of musicians, Merchant of Venice, and Merry Wives of Windsor.
