Hailed by The Portland Press Herald as “the perfect Elizabethan evening,” the concert offers a rare view of the music Shakespeare's audiences would have heard, including anonymous tunes of the period and music by the leading composers of his day (Thomas Morley, Robert Johnson, John Dowland and others). Ms. Dellal displays versatility and dramatic flair in love songs, comic antics, madness and tragedy, with selections from As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Henry V, The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and other plays. The program will include “The Willow Song” sung by Desdemona before her murder in Othello; “It Was a Lover and His Lasse” (As You Like It); “O Mistress Mine” (Twelfth Night); “Hark, Hark! The Lark” (Cymbeline); “Take O Take Those Lips Away” (Measure for Measure); “Full Fathom Five” (The Tempest), "Go from My Window” from Ophelia’s mad scene in Hamlet; and “Greensleeves,” Measure for Measure: The Music of Shakespeare’ In 2009, Ensemble Chaconne was named to Early Music America’s North American touring roster, one of only 33 ensembles to receive the honor.
