This publication discusses the numerous composers who have been inspired by Shakespeare, along with the various settings of his lyrics, and how they have been represented through music over time. It analyzes the interplay between Shakespeare's plays and the contemporary music that has been associated with them. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his original intention of casually noting observations related to Shakespeare and music, only to realize the immense breadth of the topic. Wilson notes the notable absence of surviving contemporary musical settings of Shakespeare's lyrics, as he delves into the historical context of various composers from Handel to Berlioz who have created music influenced by the Bard. He highlights specific musical adaptations tied to individual plays, revealing both successful and less successful interpretations. Wilson’s initial commentary sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how Shakespeare’s character and thematic elements continue to inspire musical creation.
