Musicology:

Sigh No more, ladies
Year: 1927
Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instruments: Voice & Piano

This song for tenor and piano accompaniment is based on words by William Shakespeare. The music has a jolly triple-meter sea chanty lilt throughout as the singer suggests to ladies that they " ... sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever; one foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never." The music drifts chromatically, like the aforementioned male inconstancy, in-between the first lines and the energetically chorus of a very Shakespearen "Hey nonny nonny".
