Purcell - Royal Odes

Why are all the Muses mute : Opening solo and chorus

Why are all the Muses mute : Symphony

Why are all the Muses mute : When should each soul exalted be

Why are all the Muses mute : Britain, thou now art great

Why are all the Muses mute : Look up, and to our Isle returning see

Why are all the Muses mute : Accurs'd rebellion reared his head

Why are all the Muses mute : So Jove, scarce settled in his sky

Why are all the Muses mute : Minuet - Caesar, for milder virtues

Why are all the Muses mute : The many headed beast is quelled

Why are all the Muses mute : In the equal balance laid

Why are all the Muses mute : O, how blest is the isle

Now does the glorious day appear : Symphony

Now does the glorious day appear : Opening chorus

Now does the glorious day appear : Not any one such joy could bring

Now does the glorious day appear : This does our fertile isle

Now does the glorious day appear : Opening chorus (reprise)

Now does the glorious day appear : It was a work of full as great a weight

Now does the glorious day appear : By beauteous softness mix'd with majesty

Now does the glorious day appear : Her hero to whose conduct

Now does the glorious day appear : Our dear religion

Now does the glorious day appear : No more shall we the great Eliza boast

Now does the glorious day appear : Now, now with one united voice

Welcome, glorious morn : Symphony

Welcome, glorious morn : Opening solo and chorus

Welcome, glorious morn : At thy return the joyful earth

Welcome, glorious morn : Welcome as when three happy kingdoms strove

Welcome, glorious morn : The mighty goddess of this wealthy isle

Welcome, glorious morn : Full of wonder and delight

Welcome, glorious morn : And lo, a sacred fury - To lofty strains

Welcome, glorious morn : My prayers are heard - I see the round years

Welcome, glorious morn : He to the field by Honour call'd shall go

Welcome, glorious morn : Whilst undisturb'd his happy Consort reigns

Welcome, glorious morn : Sound all ye spheres
