Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind (Shakespeare)
I'm quite sure I've read that no one knows what tunes were used for Shakespeare's songs. The only exceptions are "There was a lover and his lass" and perhaps one other, whose name escapes me now.
For me, it adds to the pleasure of a Shakespeare play when someone composes new music.
