____Oh! You've arrived just in time to hear the Shakey's Place in-house Humming Choir. Right now we're listening to them practice "A Ground"- from Venus and Adonis, an Opera composed by John Blow. Special thanks to David Cooke and midiworld for this midi file.
____Shakespeare's work has been the inspiration for many creative people. Listen to the music. Can you relate certain parts of this song to certain parts of it's corresponding sonnet? Are there any emotions expressed here, which are similar to the sonnet? Shakespeare's writing has been the source for many other ballets, operas, and pieces of music.
