"The Elizabethan age and the years immediately after the death of Queen Elizabeth were the great age of English song. Poets like Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, John Donne and Thomas Campian wrote directly for composers of song; and great composers like John Dowland, Thomas Morley and Thomas Campian set their poems to music. The words and music are both here - the accompaniments, originally wirtten for the lute, have been arranged for the piano by Noah Greenberg, director of the New York Pro Musica Antiqua. The eighty-four songs have been selected by W. H. Auden, Mr. Greenberg and Chester Kallman, for both their words and music, and the perfection with which the two are brought together. Mr. Auden and Mr. Greenberg have also supplied full introductions on the words and music. Here is a rare feast for lovers of English poetry and English song. For the first time, some of the most exquisite moments in the hisotry of poetry and song can be recaptured by the general reader and amateur musician."
