Shakespeare had used... «Shakespeare: A Life»
innashpitzberg16 сентября 2013Shakespeare had used instrumental effects at times, perhaps, as an artistic crutch to make up for a play's vagueness, confusion, or feeble effects (his poorest work may be lost to us, or expunged from revised texts that exist). Music is sparingly used in the early comedies, but two crucial songs at the end of Love's Labour's Lost and a music of enchantment in the Dream anticipate a sudden, marvellous development in As You Like It, in which instrumental music and song reinforce theme after theme, such as time's passing, the humour of 'holiday', the Forest of Arden's delights, or man's ingratitude. Even so, the late romances are musically his most excitingly innovative works. New facilities at Blackfriars, and then at the Globe, must have led him to experiment, and music in Cymbeline or The Tempest becomes, in an Elizabethan way, 'an act of faith', reinforcing present but elusive meanings in the work's action.
