But can you SING like Shakespeare…??
By happy circumstance, Bella Voce, Chicago’s premier a cappella ensemble, will perform “Three Shakespeare Songs” by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). The songs are “Full Fathom Five” (The Tempest, Act 1, sc 2), “The Cloud Capp’d Towers” (The Tempest, Act 4, sc 1), and “Over Hill, Over Dale” (Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, sc.1). The first two are majestic and mysterious; the finale is a dervish of a song sung at breakneck/tonguetwisting speed. Performances Sun. Apr 26, 4 p.m./St. James Cathedral, Chicago; Sat. May 2, 7:30 p.m./Glenview Community Church; and Sun. May 3, 4 p.m./Grace Lutheran Church, River Forest. For more info and tix call 312-479-1096
