Henry Purcell: Music for a while [Paul Esswood, Johann Sonnleitner, Charles Medlam]

Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

Music for a while

Songs by Henry Purcell

If music be the food of love (Second version)

Oh! Fair Cedaria

I see she fly's me

The sparrow and the gentle dove

Fly swift, ye hours

Cinthia frowns whene'er I woo her

Not all my torments

Fairest isle of isles excelling

If music be the food of love (Third version)

Love thou can'st hear, tho' thou art blind

Let us dance

Sweeter than roses

Beneath a poplar's shadow lay me

Ah! Cruel nymph

Music for a while
