Excerpt from Music on the Shakespearian Stage Whilst pondering over possible subjects, a music-teacher of my youth, the late Wallis Vincent, (one whom I admired greatly not only for his musicianship, which was considerable, but also for his delight in humorous poetry, his ready wit, and his genial kindness), lent me his manu script of a popular lecture on Shakespeare and Music. I was struck by the amount of fun he had got out of it, and foresaw that to make a deeper study of the subject would be to tread an interesting path. I made up my mind not to work the ground already appropriated by Mr E. W. Naylor and re-worked by Mr L. C. Elson, but to go further afield and describe the share taken by musicians in an Elizabethan play. I drew up a scheme, was lucky enough to have it accepted, and proceeded to collect materials to make it into a dissertation. The result is the following little book. It does not assume to be more than a sketch, which at some future time I hope to enlarge. I should have liked to read and ransack every play of the period for material, but alas, 1 had not time enough for this. Then why publish? I publish in order to report progress; but also because I think students of Shake speare and musical historians will find in this essay much that is of interest, and something that is new.
