Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Incassum, Lesbia, rogas, Z 383 “Queen’s Epicedium”
Gentle shepherds, you that know, Z 464
I love et I must, Z 382 “cloche Barr”
Through mournful shades et solitary groves, Z 424
Hears not my Phyllis, Z 371 “Knotting Mélodie”
Not all my torments can your pity move, Z 400
Ah! cruel nymph, you give despair, Z 352
Sylvia, now your scorn give over, Z 420
She that would gain a faithful lover, Z 414
Fly swift, ye hours, Z 369
What a sad fate is mine, Z 428
Love’s power en my heart shall find n° compliance, Z 395
High sur a throne de glitt’ring ore, Z 465
When her languishing eyes said ‘love’, Z 432
Since one poor view has drawn my heart, Z 416
I resolve against cringing, Z 386
If grief has any power to kill, Z 378
Phyllis, talk n° more de passion, Z 409
Celia’s fond, too long I’ve loved her, Z 364
En vain we dissemble, Z 385
When my Aemelia smiles, Z 434
Farewell, ye rocks, Z 463
I take n° pleasure en the sun’s bright beams, Z 388
How delightful’s the life de an innocent swain, Z 373
She who my poor heart possesses, Z 415
Love arms himself en Celia’s eyes, Z 392
When first my shepherdess et I, Z 431
If Musique be the food de love, Z 379
Scarce had the rising sun appear’d, Z 469
Who but a slave can well express, Z 440
