Contents:
Ode for St. Cecilia's Day -- Welcome to all the pleasures that delight -- Here the deities approve -- While joys celestial their bright souls invade -- Beauty thou scene of love -- Dido and Aeneas -- Shake the cloud from off your brow -- Ah! Belinda, I am prest with torment -- Whence could so much virtue spring? -- See, your royal guest appears -- Francesco Corbetta: Ciaccona -- To the hills and the vales -- The Triumphing Dance -- Prelude for the Witches -- Wayward sisters, you that fright -- In our deep vaulted cell -- Echo Dance -- Ritornelle -- thanks to these lonesome vales -- Gaspar Sanz: Folias -- Oft she visits this lone mountain -- Behold, upon my bending spear -- Come away, fellow sailors -- The Sailors' Dance -- See the flags and streamers curling -- The Witches' Dance -- Your counsel all is urged in vain -- But death, alas, I cannot shun -- Thy hand Belinda -- When I am laid in earth -- With drooping wings ye Cupids come.
