Music is everywhere in the works of Shakespeare, most obviously in the songs which grace so many of his plays but also in powerful metaphors that drive and give shape to the dramatic action. In this lecture/performance Aron Dunlap plays original musical settings of songs from the plays and talks about the meaning and use of music in the Renaissance and in Shakespeare's drama.
