FAWM: "The mystery of William Shakespeare"

The mystery of William Shakespeare

Liner Notes

Thank you for an interesting prompt.

To this day we don't know for whether William Shakespeare was the author of all the works he was credited with. I'm always keen to find out what your thoughts are about my music. Please let me know if you would like to collaborate on a new version. The title and the theme are open to suggestions. Happy to discuss our project and send you the wav or MP3 file.

If music be the food of love play on... Even in a minute, so full of shapes is fancy, that it alone is high fantastical. Beautiful music Nadia, play on 😎

I love this, especially how the melody winds around! It is full of mystery, and it does sound a bit like a harpsichord.

Haunting and questioning. Nice composition Nadia.

Oooh the melody that kicks in at 44 seconds is nice. When I first hit play and realized the instrumental was picked to be Shakespearian I was charmed for sure. Very nice piece and good sound selection 🎹

What was the keyboard or instrument setting you used called? Something Harpsichord?

The music does have a kind of Elizabethan feel to me (not that I know what I'm talking about, but it creates that impression in my very inexpert brain), and the feeling of mystery and contemplation perfectly matches the theme. Stately and elegant, I can completely picture a movie montage where the main character is searching for the truth about Shakespeare and pours over dusty manuscripts in a hidden library while this lovely music plays.

This feels like middle-of-the-night music, a scene of sifting through big ideas and possibly searching for answers without the mental noise of the day.
