This collection is part of a 6-book set of musical settings of lyrics to songs in Shakespeare's plays. This grouping opens with a melancholy prelude 'I Shall No More to Sea,' followed by the woozy 'Come ThouMonarch of the Vine.' 'Oh Heart' is set in a doo-wop style and the set ends with a folk-like setting of 'When That I Was and a Little Tiny Boy.' The extended coda builds to sixteen parts as it repeatsvarious bits of the poem.
