Shakespeare Sings

Sounds like one of those compilation albums from the 70s…
I’ve been having a look at Shakespeare (Sweet Bean is studying Romeo and Juliet this term) and came across a BBC article on his influence on “modern music”. There’s quite a few, and some strange pairings (Metallica? Iron Maiden?). Some may only reference a line from a play in the lyrics, or even just the title. Some are sweet, some are clever. Here’s a selection.

Antony and Cleopatra

Hamlet

Macbeth

Romeo and Juliet
