In Music
In 2001 Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour recorded Sonnet 18 as a song for his wife, with the music written by him and played on piano by Michael Kamen. A video of him recording the piece was released as an extra on his 2002 DVD, David Gilmour in Concert but the recording was never released on an album. The song's credits are given as "Shakespeare/Gilmour".
It was also set to music by the Swedish composer Nils Lindberg as a choral piece.
