◆本CDについて◆
ジュエルケース（黒トレイ）。ブックレット（全24頁）にトラックリスト＆クレジット、Jeremy Barlowによる解説（英文）、歌詞、CDリスト（The Broadside Band／Saydisc）、裏表紙にカラー図版（グローブ座）。
ジェレミー・バーロウ率いるザ・ブロードサイド・バンド『シェイクスピアの歌と踊り』（1995年）。
全体は次の7つのパートに分かれています：
Ⅰ 当時の上演で使用されたであろう歌詞＋メロディによる歌
Ⅱ 戯曲で言及されているポピュラーな踊りの形式に相当する同時代の舞曲
Ⅲ 戯曲に登場する歌詞＋それにふさわしいと推定される同時代のメロディによる歌
Ⅳ イタリア風和声進行（パッサメッツォ）に基づく舞曲
Ⅴ 戯曲で使用・言及されている歌・バラッドの元歌
Ⅵ 宮廷および上流階級のための舞曲
Ⅶ 王政復古期のシェイクスピア劇リバイバル以降の歌詞＋メロディによる歌
シェイクスピアというと、ともすると高尚なイメージを抱きがちですが、ブロードサイド・バンドは学術的リサーチに基づきながらも、大衆演劇としてのシェイクスピアの猥雑な娯楽性をないがしろにしていないです。
