Hi Netters
Does anyone know where I can get the 'Willow Song' (Othello) with all
the verses and lute accompaniment?
Thanks, Dick Brook

Stewart,
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 to

Perhaps my understatement leaves something to be said. I was speaking of a
time before the stage of Shakespeare, and a bit before the actors. No
quarrel, but there was a period without an active stage and that was what I
spoke of.
The Greeks had theater, but in feudal times the entertainer

about how plays were performed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England:

and different printed editions), useful marginalia from stage

decision will be, as it seems there is a lot of maintainence on a classic

Jon,
if you are into making your own lute, make sure that you check David Van
Edwards' CD lutemaking courses which are excellent and I mean it. You'll get a
good instrument and it can be done, believe me. www.vanedwards.co.uk

Hells bells David,
I'm beginning to agree with you. My first month of trying to get my harp and
guitar fingers to play lute songs on the retuned guitar where rather
disasterous, but this evening I went through about four different tunes from
the Jane Pickering Lute Book (circa 1616) with reasonabl
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

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

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
lot of that over the last several days at the annual reunion of my a cappela

Really? All I got was a notice that:

Thanks very much, Tony. It has come out very clearly.

I usually take it from the latest pages :) of today's critical editions, and I assume

Dear Jon,
I'm afraid you cannot have your cake and eat it. You say that songs
such as the Willow Song lack validity. I take this to mean that one
cannot be absolutely sure that the Willow Song as copied in Lbl Add
15117 is the same melody and/or accompaniment that was sung on stage
fo
, and the words
were the play.
Best, Jon

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

I am interested in locating a version of the 'Willow Song' from (I
believe) Othello, that has the verses and lute tablature. Any help would
be appreciated.
