Shakespeare was an English poet, more know as The Bard of Avon. Shakespeare was born an brought up in Standford-upon-Avon the 26 April 1564, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances and collaborated with other playwrights. He died the 23 April 1616.
2.- Do some research on the "pavan" (3 or 4 lines are enough).
The ''pavan'' is a slow processional dance common in Europe during the 16th century (Renaissance). 
The pavane the earliest-known music for which was published in venice by Octaviano Petrucci in Joan Ambrosio <<Dalza's Intabolatura de lauto libro quarto>> in 1580, is a sedate and dignified couple dance, similar to the 15th century bass dance. The music which accompanied it appears originally to have been fast or moderately fast but, like many other dances, became slower over time (Brown 2001).
3.- In your own words, try to express the feeling you get listening to this music.
When I hear this music I fell happy, because it's fast and I like fast music.
4.-What do you feel listening to that music?In your own words, try to explain that feeling. 
I feel happy with that music, because I love music and that instruments remember me that music was different in the past.

POEM-WISH YOU WERE HERE

1.-Do some research (but not in depth) on the song, about some of the musicians of the song, about Pink Floyd, etc.
Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions, and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.
The song ``Wish you were here´´ is the ninth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd. It was released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in theU.K. and a day later by Colombia Records in the E.E.U.U.The album topped record charts in both regions.

Because we were friends,
and now we're enemies.
What happened to us?
