Shakespeare Songs is a 1967 LP album of Elizabethan songs which is one of the most celebrated recordings of the countertenor Alfred Deller. Deller is accompanied by lutenist Desmond Dupré and the Deller Consort, Philip Todd and Max Worthley tenors, Maurice Bevan baritone.
The album includes both anonymous songs adapted by Shakespeare, such as the Willow song, and also songs by Shakespeare's contemporaries which may have been written for his plays. Robert Johnson, a composer and lutenist who set two songs from The Tempest, is known to have worked for Shakespeare's company the King's Men, whereas Thomas Morley's setting of "It Was A Lover And His Lass" from As You Like It, is not known to have been performed in the play, but may have been.
