Gay, Britten: The Beggar's Opera

Overture

"'Tis Woman That Seduces All Mankind"

"If Love the Virgin's Heart Invade"

"I Know As Well As Any of the Fine Ladies. Virgins Are Like the Fair Flower in Its Lustre"

"Can Love Be Controll'd by Advice"

"I, Like a Ship in Storms, Was Tossed"

"O Ponder Well, Be Not Severe. The Turtle Thus with Plaintive Crying"

"My Heart Was so Free"

"O! What Pain It Is to Part!"

"And Now Our Scene Changes. Fill Ev'ry Glass"

"Dear Mrs Coaxer, You're Welcome. Youth's the Season Made for Joys"

"But to Be Sure. The Gamesters and Lawyers Are Jugglers Alike. At the Tree I Shall Suffer with Pleasure"

"Is Then His Fate Decreed, Sir?"

"Shall I Not Claim My Own? How Happy Could I Be with Either"

"Dear Sir, Mention Not My Education. When Young at the Bar"

"Thus Gamesters United in Friendship"

"And Those Two Good Old Friends"

"Come, Sweet Lass, Let's Banish Sorrow"

"Oh Sir, If Peachum's Heart Is Hardened. When He Holds up His Hand"

"Would I Might Be Hanged!"
