George H. Cowling (1881-1946), Lecturer in English at the
University of Leeds and subsequently Professor of English at
Melbourne, wrote this study as his dissertation, inspired by his
own love of music. He shows what kinds of music were used on the
Elizabethan stage, and explains where in the theatre, at which
point during the plays and with which instruments and personnel the
music was performed. He also assesses what both songs and
incidental music contributed to the meaning and the performance of
Shakespeare, going back to examine the roots of dramatic music in
the use of religious music in the medieval Mystery plays. He offers
a lively and approachable introduction to the subject that provides
a way into the field of early modern music in the theatre, and a
foundation for more detailed critical work.
