Jill Gallina : Shake It Up with Shakespeare

Shake It Up With Shakespeare is part of the Rise and Shine Series. This musical for 2-part voices will provide your students with a fun and unforgettable introduction to English literature's most famous writer, William Shakespeare. Shakespeare not only wrote a wide range of plays and sonnets that touch upon all aspects of the human condition, he also created words and phrases that are still very much a part of our everyday language. Through the use of an easily memorized rhyming script and a healthy sprinkling of his most famous quotes, this musical serves as the basis for an overview of five well-known Shakespearean plays. The opening song is followed by five musical selections that highlight the essence of the plays featured: two comedies, two tragedies and one history. Along with his ability to expose the darker aspects of human nature, Shakespeare also demonstrated a gift for highlighting the humorous side of everyday life. The six original songs written for this musical are more reflective of the latter perspective of his works. The Enhanced Teacher Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements, rhyming program script as well as choreography, prop, staging and performance suggestions. The enclosed CD-ROM offers reproducible singer and speaking parts. A performance/accompaniment CD is available separately or in a kit with the enhanced Teacher edition. Suggested for Grades 2-5. Performance Time: 20 minutes.

Songlist: Henry The Eighth, Magical, Mystical, Mistaken Identity, Shake It Up With Shakespeare, Star-Crossed Love, Witches' Brew

Thou Canst Not Hit It, in this interpretation, is a song about trying to hit the high and low notes. Surrounded by comedy and tragedy, Honour, Riches, Marriage-Blessing is the idyllic center of the set. O Sweet Oliver, with its dueling boy and girl choirs, leads into Willow, Willow, where the poem's word repetitions inspire the driving rhythm.

Nancy Wertsch : Shakespeare Suite : SATB : Sheet Music : 884088063009 : 142341053X : 50486217

Nancy Wertsch : Shakespeare Suite

The music here is meant to evoke the amorous thoughts and feelings of young lovers in Shakespeare's England. "It Was A Lover and His Lass" is a musical picture of a pair of happy young lovers meandering through the lush green countryside and enjoying the warmth of a spring day. It is obvious that these tow are a part of the total flowering spring. "Oh Mistress Mine" is a tender appeal by the young lover imploring his beloved to roaming and come to him. He employs various arguments to convince her that love should happen now and not later. His ardent desire is reflected in the music. However, at the end of the piece his love remains unrequited. In "Daffodils" there is so much youthful energy that it almost gets out of control. The key here is "tumbling." The whole piece goes in spurts and stops, with duddilly dum dum's and oo's containing little naughty thoughts here and there which can't say in words. All the chaos seems to come under control for awhile until the pent up energy bursts forth in "tumbling, tumbling, tumbling" and gleefully ends "as we go tumbling in the hay."

Songlist: It Was A Lover and His Lass, Oh Mistress Mine, Daffodils

Ned Rorem : Two Shakespearean Songs

Ned Rorem has been described as The world's best composer of art songs, and these two contrasting and compelling works for chorus affirm this description. Dirge poignantly expresses the pain of unquiet love, while Live with Me, creates a somewhat playful mood. In 12/8, the vocals dance above the flowing sixteenth note arpeggios in the piano. Duration: ca. 3:30.
