Four English composers make up the Charles River Wind Ensemble's Shakespeare programme. Gordon Jacob's William Byrd Suite arranges Elizabethan keyboard pieces for band; Guy Woolfenden, for decades the Royal Shakespeare Company's head of music, wrote Gallimaufry; Edward Gregson's The Sword and the Crown draws on his music for the RSC's history plays; and Nigel Hess's Shakespeare Pictures completes the programme.
