SHAKESPHEARE IS COMING...

SHAKESPHEARE IS COMING...



What do you know about Shakespeare?

I don't know much of him, but I know that he was a great musician and composer of between the epochs Renaissance and Baroque.

William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. His extant works, consist of approximately 39 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. 


And about the music of this historical period? (I give you one clue: together, we will play two "pavans").
I think his music historical periods are The Renaissance and Baroque.
The Baroque is a highly ornate and often extravagant style of architecture, art and music that flourished in Europe from the early 17th until the late 18th century.
The Renaissance is a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is an extension of the Middle Ages, and is bridged by the Age of Enlightenment to modern history.
