This is (to take an example) one of the great merits of Gilbert's verse and one of the reasons of the popu- larity of the Gilbert and Sullivan plays. Words and music are in accord and both are singable and tuneful. Now Aeschylus was the father of the Greek drama, and he raised it from a condition where a play was little more than a dramatic song, sung by a chief performer, and accompanied by a chorus of varying, but certainly large, number. Indeed, the"* earliest play which we possess, the Supp...liants, is hardly emancipated from this tradition. Through- out the greater part of the play there is only one *' character " on the stage, and the chorus consisted, probably, of the fifty daughters of Danaiis. It is, moreover, at least probable that he had to rely in the main on what we should call amateur talent for the chorus, and the parts assigned to the chorus were very large, amounting in the Agamemnon to over one-third of the play. Further, the chorus" had to sing and dance to the l3n:ics.
