List of choral works

• Concord is conquered
• Gales of evening
• Had I but the torrent's might
• In the rose's fragrant shade
• Love and Folly were at play
• Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in C
• Round thy pillow
• Sweet warbling bird, with dulcet note
• This bubbling stream not uninstructive flows
• To a friend sincere
• While I listen to thy voice
• Who has peerless Kitty seen?
• Why thus enraged, ye tribes profane?
