Title
Shakespeare’s sonnets in a new and original audio-visual version with a short introduction improvised upon the german flute-home
Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- AN AUDIO-VISUAL website created for lovers of William Shakespeare's poetry and of new flute music. In this original and imaginative version, every one of the 154 Sonnets is recited directly into camera in a clear and easy to understand English. The improvisations try to capture something of the tuneful, very rhythmic, occasionally rustic "playhouse feeling" of the period, without losing the intimacy of the Poet's elated and "black dog" moments. The mellow flute playing is remarkable for its fresh inventiveness and beautiful sonority. In what is believed to be the first website of its kind, it gives a unique insight into the development of our language as well as the art of musical improvising. Here we find Shakespeare' s views on Time and on Death (Sonnet 64) on Love--platonic (Sonnet 116) and erotic (Sonnet 151) --not forgetting his ideas on natural selection (Sonnet 11), Astrology (Sonnet 14), thought-travel (Sonnet 44) and preventive Medicine (Sonnet 118) . The many legal allusions show he was well versed in the workings of the Law (Sonnets 46 and 134) and his acquaintance with Music and its powers is self-evident (Sonnets 8 and 128). Leonardo first imagined the helicopter, but is this the first mention of "car" in the English language.. (Sonnet 7) ?
