Commissioned by Joshua Engel for The Rude Mechanicals’ production of Much Ado about Nothing in January and February of 2007. This setting is in the style of a 1940s sultry female lounge singer. Think Cole Porter meets Shakespeare.
Sung by Balthasar in Act II, Scene iii
Sigh no more, ladies,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sign not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
