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.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
