These works should given their proper titles. According to the standard books by music scholars on the music of William Billings (Barbour 1960, Kroeger 1990), terms such as 

 Broad Cove
 Rocky-Nook
 Variety, without method
 West-Sudbury

are called Titles. In the reference works cited, the musical works are consistently labeled and referred to by their titles, not by their first lines. The only works titled by their first lines are works not given a unique title, such as Anthem for fast day. There are a number of anthems with titles, e.g., Rutland or Lamentation over Boston. I strongly recommend that we follow Barbour and Kroeger in titling the works of Billings. Respectfully, Bcjohnston523 (talk) 16:21, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
