SHAKESPEARE'S SONGBOOK, Book and CD. This is a meticulously researched collection of 160 songs--ballads and narratives, drinking songs, love songs, and rounds--that appear in, are quoted in, or are alluded to in Shakespeare's plays. It brings complete lyrics (many newly recovered) and music notation together. Each song entry opens with the citation from the play, followed by music notation for the tune, the complete song lyric, and a brief commentary on the probable history of the song. A wonderful resource for directors, performers and scholars. About half of the songs are on the accompanying CD. 528 pp. Hardcover book and CD.
