Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Graduate Record, Vol. 1: November-December, 1905
Still more numerous and varied are the directions for instrumental music. In Elizabethan times the orchestra played soft music while Bassanio was making his choice of caskets, very much as it does to-day. The passing Oftime between acts was indicated by music. The various directions for Trumpet, Flourish, Tucket, Sen net, Alarum, Short Alarum, and Sound for Re treat are rather confusing. Perhaps it is sufficient to note that such variations exist, most of them intended for the trumpet or cornet. A sennet usually indicated the arrival of a king, and a tucket a call to arms. Horns and trumpets, drums, tabors and pipes, lutes and haut boys, in a word, nearly all the musical instruments com mon to the time were used in the presentation Of these dramas.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the theatre of William Shakespeare as it would have been experienced by audience members in the 1600s, a time before artificial lighting, complex stage sets, or intermissions. The author, a scholar of Renaissance literature, argues that scholars have neglected the physical circumstances of these plays and that this omission has left a significant gap in our understanding of Shakespeare's work. The author suggests that we cannot fully appreciate these plays without understanding the theatrical space they inhabited, including the 'heavens' that provided for staging celestial activity, the doors that allowed for off-stage characters to enter from the streets, the presence of instruments on stage which produced sound effects, and the lack of a curtain. This book provides a firsthand view of Shakespeare's stage and a reconstruction of what it must have been like to attend one of his performances. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333663605_0
