This vocal score provides a musical arrangement of Shakespearean text for a specific choral ensemble. The work, composed by Robert Washburn, serves as the third installment in a collection titled Three Shakespearian Lovesongs. It is designed to facilitate performance by a TTBB (tenor-tenor-baritone-bass) choir accompanied by piano, with the inclusion of an optional French horn part to enhance the harmonic texture.

This score is utilized by choral directors and vocal ensembles seeking accessible yet expressive contemporary settings of classical texts. Experts note that Washburn's arrangement is highly functional for collegiate or community male-voice choirs looking to expand their repertoire with standard Shakespearean themes.
