List of choral works at CPDL

• Come gentle zephyr
• Come, follow me
• Come, my friends
• From thee all skill and science flow
• Here my Chloe, charming maid
• I know you false
• Nymphs of the forest
• O cruel Amarillis
• Oh, the sweet contentment
• On a bank beside a willow

• Wake now, my love
• When the fair moon
• When the wind blows in the sweet rose-tree
