Lilburn wrote these seven musical interludes in quasi-Elizabethan style; nonetheless one can still clearly detect his own compositional voice. The most extended music is that for the Willow Song, which in Shakespeare’s Othello is sung by Desdemona to her maid Emilia on the eve of the heroine’s death. Lilburn knew well how to handle the style of the melancholy vocal lament, translating the repeated ‘willow, willow…’ refrains of the original song into repeated skips of a falling third, and using the violin’s mid-low register. Broken chord accompaniment in the piano imitates the sound of a strummed lute. Lilburn Willow Song was heard together with the premier of two settings of R.A.K. Mason’s poems, Song Thinking of Her Dead, and O Fons Bandusiae in a 3YA broadcast on 29 November 1946. It was first performed two years earlier, though, as part of a production of Othello given by the Canterbury University College Drama Society, directed by Ngaio Marsh.

Lilburn Collaborated with Ngaio Marsh in five Shakespeare production sin the early 1940s; Othello was the second. Just as Marsh regarded his musical input highly, so Lilburn considered her to be an outstanding producer: "She had more understanding of Shakespeare than anyone else I have ever met’, he observed, ‘and an exquisite ear for the music and cadences of his verse’. The first two Shakespearian productions by this able team, of Hamlet and Othello, were a great success, so much so that the Drama Society toured with them to Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland.

String Quartet No. 11 in D Minor was written in 1935, immediately after the String Quartet in E minor, subsequently re-adapted as the Symphony no. 7 in E minor. The String Quartet No. 11 in D Minor has come to enjoy a greater frequency in performances and recordings than other quartets in the series. At the time of its publication, the work had become popularised through its many performances through its many performances and recording by the Queensland State String Quartet.
