EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate musical score for Macbeth, specifically the song "Come away, come away Hecate" from the 17th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as if inviting us to step into the world of Shakespearean theater and experience the magic of his words through music. The manuscript itself is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators, with delicate ink on paper forming staves upon which notes dance gracefully. The formal structure of this music manuscript reflects both its historical significance and its timeless beauty. Displayed against a backdrop of antique virginal keyboard instruments, this photograph transports us back to an era when live performances were accompanied by such exquisite compositions. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, Shakespeare's works continue to inspire creativity and artistic expression. Preserved within the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this precious piece represents not only English heritage but also our shared cultural history. Its inclusion in an anthology dedicated to William Shakespeare further emphasizes his enduring influence on literature and music alike. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are granted a glimpse into a world where words transcend their written form and find new life through melody – an invitation to immerse ourselves in both sight and sound.
