During the Elizabethan period music occupied a most important place Ln the daily life of the people, lutes (small guitars) being provided in all the barbers’ shops for the amusement of the customers, many of whom were skilled performers. The vocal compositions of the period I were tuneful and musical, but j strumental works were inharmonious ! and noisy. Melodies were used indis- : criminately for both secular and sacred | songs. I All classes participated in the art. King Henry VIII. being a good com- | poser, and Queen Elizabeth a skiiled performer on the keyboard instrument i of the day. the virginal, j The Shakesperian dramas contain ; many allusions to the popular | ballads of the day. Professor Sperrin- ! Johnson, givings several illustrations, including, “O. How Should I” (Walsingham), sung by Ophelia in "Hamlet.” The lecturer also played “Fortune, My Foe,' “Chevy Chase,” “John, Come j Kiss Me Now,” “Goe from My Win- : 'low,” and played the accompaniments for the songs, “Come Again.” “Heartsease,” “O, Mistress Mine,” sung by Miss A. Hansard. At the conclusion of the lecture some ‘delightful flute solos were played by ’ Mr. Dunn.
