βA man that hath no music in himself, nor is not movβd with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.β
This article starts with the Shakespeare quote above, and the rest of it nearly made me cry just contemplating it. I can't imagine how different my life would have been if I had this condition (πΆπππππππ‘ππ π΄ππ’π ππ)
@codeWhisperer The music of Shakespeare's time was remarkably sophisticated. Dowland and Byrd, to name a few. This was the High Renaissance, and except for Handel and Purcell, the British didn't exceed the Renaissance work until the 20th century. Still, Dowland had amusical days.. One of his lyrics is "my music, hellish jarring sound to banish friendly sleep." He may have been bipolar.
