Seventeen Songs of Purcell, arranged for piano and two violins and cello (ad lib)

By Imogen Holst, c1950.

1. I resolve against cringing

2. When first Amintas sued for a kiss

3. There's nothing so fatal as woman

4. Rashly I swore

5. Sweet tyraness, I now resign

6. More love or more disdain I crave

7. She who my poor heart possesses

8. Cease, O my sad soul, cease to mourn

9. Let formal lovers still pursue

10. Tell me no more

11. Oh! How you protest

12. No watch, dear Celia

13. Though you make no return

14. Take not a woman's anger (The Rival Sisters)

15. Love's power in my heart

16. Ask me to love no more

17. Now the fight's done (Theodosius)
