Richard wrote numerous scores for Shakespeare plays during his time as Composer and Musical Director of the National Youth Theatre of Wales, Composer and tutor at The Welsh College of Music and Drama and Composer for Theatre Wales between 1978 to 1993.

The incidental music contained various songs, originally written for individual plays, usually featuring solo voice and instrumentalists.

These songs were also written into the score for The Hack of Stratford.

Richard then revised the songs to be performed for one or two voices and piano. These are listed as Shakespeare Songs 1 and 11.
