5 Shakespeare Songs is my first entry in the Modern Classics Collection (Early Music Series). Unlike my earlier works in the Baroque, Classical and Romantic series, these stories are not my own, but taken from the plays of Shakespeare. Each piece employs techniques of the era to embody the setting and emotional subtext of the chosen text and the play it was pulled from. As such, each is unique and can be performed on their own or with other similar or contrasting pieces. However, when all 5 are played in sequence they function as a single multimovement work.

GENERAL NOTES ON STYLE: All should be played using the same basic guidelines you employ when performing a similar work written during the Renaissance era with 2 major exceptions. If any idiomatic choice, no matter how academically revered, interferes with the performer's musical expression of the piece in an objectively significant way, or makes the piece less accessible for the modern audience; that choice should be disregarded.
