List of choral works

A thought on death Apollo, high our souls inspire As onward we jog Awake, Aeolian lyre Begin the song Come Delia, pride of rural swains Come, pretty bird Come, ye party jangling swains Fair Flora decks the flowery ground Fairest daughter of the year Fare thee well, thou native vale Flow on, silver stream Gentle swains, unseal your eyes Goddess of the tuneful lyre Happy is the shepherd's life Hark, hark, hark! Waked from according lyres Let gaiety sparkle Little warbler, who dost bring mirth Music has power The Nightingale
