About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Shakespeariana, Vol. 5: February, 1888 Music introduced into the plays where Shakespeare meant that it should be, and where the dramatic action calls for it, is quite ather thing, and is always beautiful and appropriate. Among many attempts to set music to Macbeth - either as an Opera or altered and added to, so as to be almost beyond recognition - the principal interest centres around that attributed to Matthew Locke. He is generally supposed to have written the music for Sir William Davenant's alteration Of Macbeth. This was brought out at the new theatre in Dorset Gardens, in 1672 - three years after the death of Davenant - by his wife. His design had been to make the play more attractive by additions to the lyric portions, which were borrowed principally from Middleton's Witch, by improved scenes, stage machinery and music. After the proclamation for the suppression Of stage-playes, in the time of Cromwell, attempts were made continually to evade the laws. At first very stringent, they gradually became relaxed and in 1656, fourteen years after the closing Of the theatres, Sir William Davenant began to exhibit dramatic performances, under the name of Operas. Cromwell allowed Of this, because, being in an unkwn language, it would t corrupt the morals Of the people. The unkwn lan guage was music. It soon became a favorite practice to change Shakespeare's plays into Operas by the aid Of machines, dancing, and music. Beaumont and Fletcher being favorites Of Charles II., it was thought necessary, when the people began to call for Shakespeare's plays, to add to their attractiveness, and consequently they suffered all sorts Of mutilations and changes.
