Music had been used to accompany poems during the medieval era. The Elizabethans taste for the Theatre was soon enhanced by the accompaniment of music. It was only a short step to combine the accustomed music with its accompanying verse with the exciting pageantry of the Elizabethan theatre. The importance of music to the Elizabethans was reflected in the plays of William Shakespeare who makes more than five hundred references to music in his plays and poems!

Is it worth visiting Shakespeare’s Globe - or is that just another tourist attraction?

I found this photograph of Romeo and Juliet on the internet and it inspired me to paint my favorite characters from the BBC's The Musketeers. I love Luke Pasqualino that plays d'Artagnan and he has great chemistry with Tamla Kari, who plays Constance. The star-crossed lovers are reminiscent of the Shakespeare play, but in the TV series, they have a happy ending together. In the Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (my favorite book of all times), their love affair ends in tragedy.
