inches. Lyrics by William
Shakespeare.
Like
many composers who found
themselves in exile
during the war years,
Castelnuovo-Tedesco
composed in a very
neoclassical and
neoromantic style,
reviving more traditional
or antiquated ideas of
melody, tonality and
texture. His collection
of Shakespeare Songs
feature settings of verse
from across the full
range of the Bard's
plays, and have proved to
be great critical
successes still widely
performed today. Suitable
to be adapted by most
voices. the songs are
interwoven with complex
and thrilling Piano
accompaniments that bring
colour and energy to the
often liberally edited
texts. This edition
contains Epithalamium
from The Tempest,
alongside a Nuptial March
for Piano solo.
