Songs and Airs by Purcell

Songs and Airs by Purcell

Purcell:

O Solitude

Ah! How sweet It Is to Love

Not all my torments can your pity move, Z400

Stript of their green

Tell me, some pitying angel (The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation), Z196

If music be the food of love

Hark! The Echoing Air (From The Fairy Queen)

The fatal hour comes on apace, Z421

Incassum Lesbia

Sweeter than Roses

Cupid, the slyest rogue alive, Z367

From silent shades ('Bess of Bedlam') Z370

Dear pretty youth

From Rosy Bowers (From Don Quixote)

Now that the sun hath veil'd his light

Beneath a poplar's shadow

I attempt from Love's sickness fly

Let us dance

Fairest Isle

Nymphs and Shepherds

Amidst the shades and cool refreshing streams Z355

Love in their little veins inspires

Fly swift ye hours, Z369

They tell us that your mighty powers

Plainte: O, Let Me Weep

In the black dismal dungeon of despair, Z190

See, even Night herself is here

Why should men quarrel?

Seek not to know

The History of King Richard the Second or The Sicilian Usurper: Retir'd from any mortal's sight, Z581

To arms, heroic Prince

O lead me to some peaceful gloom

Halcyon days

Bid the virtues (Come, ye Sons of Art)

Lord, what is man?, Z192

Music for a while, Z583

Sawney is a bonny lad, Z412

When I have often heard young maids complaining

Ah! cruel, bloody fate

Thy hand, Belinda … When I am laid in earth
