Henry Purcell, Purcell Songs

Music for a while (from Oedipus)

Fairest isle (from King Arthur or the British Worthy)

Since from my dear Astrea's sight (from The prophetess or the History of Dioclesian)

I attempt from love's sickness to fly (from the Indian Queen)

There's not a swain ( from Rule a Wife and Have a Wife)

Take not a woman's anger ill (from The rival sisters or the violence of love)

The fatal hour comes on apace

Love's power in my heart

More love or more disdain I crave

Who can behold florella's charms

Sweeter than roses (from Pausanias, the betrayer of his country)

The queen's epicedium (Elegy on the death of Queen Mary - 1695)

Thou wakeful shepherd (A Morning Hymn)

Now that the sun hath veiled his light (An evening hymn on a ground)

Sleep, Adam, sleep and take thy rest

Lord, what is man ?
