We'll present some of the songs he mentions by name as well as works by his musical contemporaries, interspersed with choice excerpts from the plays. Works by Morley, Ferrabosco, Byrd, Dowland, and Robert Johnson, dances from the Elizabethan and Jacobean courts, and a saucy ballad or two. Afterwards, enjoy a celebratory drink and birthday cake in honor of the Bard.
