Wow, I seem to have opened a can of worms. Let this be near the end of it (I
never like to end a discussion, as is obvious). The players of the time were
performers, and as such could quite likely had the skills on the lute and
the singing. But the combination of instrument and story was not quite

will look at it carefully before making any decision. But I wonder what that
decision will be, as it seems there is a lot of maintainence on a classic
lute, whereas a more modern version might be appropriate. I've got about

I'd reply to this if I had a reply. But since I agree with everything you
said (almost everything, I retain my option to disagree with details) I have
no reply. Usually a new entrant to a list is a bit circumspect, I'm afraid
this old curmudgeon isn't. And I compliment the list for not

Sixty odd years of singing and an assumption that human nature hasn't
changed that much. If you can't remember your part, fake it. I just did a

Do you really think that the actor playing Ophelia was walking on, doing
his/her lines, and also playing a properly full lute piece? Don't go too
much by what is written in retrospect. A lute player wouldn't strum, of
course. but an actor might pretend to play (as has often been done in our
day).
it was good enough for stage performance. We learn not to
underestimate our audiences, but we should not underestimate the performers
either. I can teach you to play a simple lute accompaniment, like the Willow
Song has, in a year. Given that musical schooling was part of an actor's
curiculum, I'd say he

I may be mistaken but I believe F. W., Sternfeld, _Music in Shakespearean
Tragedy_ (London/New York, 1963)_ remains the best place to begin looking
for songs used in Shakespeare. The Willow Song occupies pages 24-52 in the
book, with 5 or 6 versions including several with tabkature in facsimile
