Lyrics included ; biographical note by Richard Luckett.
Staircase overture -- If music be the food of love -- Cebell -- To arms, to arms, heroic prince -- To arms -- Tell me, some pitying angel -- Slow air We come to sing -- Oh! Lead me to some peaceful gloom -- O solitude -- Hark! hark! the echoing air -- Trumpet tune -- Sweeter than roses -- Fairest isle -- She that would gain a faithful lover -- Cupid, the slyest rogue alive -- I attempt from love's sickness to fly -- Jig -- Music for a while -- The fatal hour comes on apace -- Hear, mighty love -- Plainte: O let me weep -- Chancony in G minor.
Sylvia McNair, soprano ; Crispian Steele Perkins, trumpet ; Simon Standage, violin ; Christopher Hogwood, organ ; Paul O'Dette, archlute ; Laurence Dreyfus, cello ; The Academy of Ancient Music.
