Here is a book of tunes from the Elizabethan era - the great period of English song - set in tablature for the clawhammer banjo. At first glance, it is true, the songs of Shakespeare's day and the mountain banjo seem to be worlds apart. But the musical traditions are, in fact, related, as Elizabethan songs are the old world cousins of mountain tunes. As a result, Elizabethan tunes are a natural wa…

Americans had inherited this tendency from Elizabethan England, and many continental Europeans also took up English country dancing as their own.

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Inspired by the fast-moving scenes and vulnerable, complex characters of Elizabethan drama, this new opera by George Benjamin and Martin Crimp considers what space, if any, exists for love and human affection inside the dangerous machinery of power.  A king, compelled to choose between love and political hard-headedness, makes a fatal decision, allowing his country to slide in…

Each of my five little songs takes as its title and point of inspiration a fragmen…
