Product description
When faced with the daunting task of setting Shakespearean sonnets to music, many artists would quiver in fear. But not Harlow Chorus. With their latest album "Songs For Shakespeare," this ensemble fearlessly takes on the Bard's iconic words with a passion and enthusiasm that is truly infectious. The album opens with a raucous rendition of Sonnet 18, with the chorus beltin' out "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" like they've been waiting their whole lives to sing those words. The juxtaposition of the classical poetry with a modern choral arrangement is both surprising and delightful, creating a sound that is truly unique. Throughout the album, Harlow Chorus showcases their impeccable vocal harmonies and impressive range. Whether they're tackling the bawdy humour of Sonnet 130 or the heartbreaking beauty of Sonnet 116, each track is a masterclass in choral performance. But what truly sets "Songs For Shakespeare" apart is the sense of fun and mischief that pervades each track. From the cheeky wink in their delivery of Sonnet 129 to the rousing energy of their performance of Sonnet 73, Harlow Chorus proves that Shakespeare can still be relevant and entertaining in the 21st century. In conclusion, Harlow Chorus's "Songs For Shakespeare" is a triumph of wit, talent, and sheer audacity. This album is a must-listen for lovers of music, literature, and good old-fashioned fun. So grab a glass of mead and prepare to be serenaded by the Bard himself - you won't be disappointed.
