The words are written by William Shakespeare, the melodies written by William Clark, in combining the two we have come up with an inspiring blend of Sonnets and Song. William Clark brings his vast musical skills together and turns the beautiful Sonnets of Shakespeare into the lyrics for his original guitar compositions. His voice adds both tenderness and depth to William Shakespeares immortal words. |
