Carolan's concerto: Introductory piece ; The pleasant rocks ; Planxty Drury ; The beardless boy -- Go where glory waits thee -- Remember the glories of Brien the Brave -- Erin! The tear and the smile in thine eyes -- Oh! Breathe not his name -- When he who adores thee -- The harp that once through Tara's halls -- Fly not yet -- Oh! Think not my spirits are always as light -- Tho' the last glimpse of Erin -- Rich and rare were the gems she wore -- Rich and rare were the gems she wore (harmonized for four voices) -- As a beam o'er the face of the waters -- The meeting of the waters -- St. Senanus and the lady -- How dear to me the hour when daylight dies -- Take back the virgin page -- When in death I shall calm recline -- The dirge (How oft has the banshee cried) -- We may roam through this world -- Eveleen's bower -- Let Erin remember the days of old -- Silent, oh Moyle! be the roar of thy water -- Come, send round the wine -- Sublime was the warning which liberty spoke -- Believe me if all those endearing young charms -- Introductory music for the pianoforte: Caen dubh dheelish ; The snowy-breasted pearl ; Caen dubh dheelish ; Planxty Johnstone ; Captain Magin ; Planxty Johnstone -- Erin! Oh Erin! -- Thamama hulla -- Drink to her -- Oh! Blame not the bard -- While gazing on the moon's light -- When daylight was yet sleeping under the billow I -- When daylight was yet sleeping under the billow II -- By the hope within us springing (Before the battle) -- The fairy queen -- Night closed around (After the battle) -- Oh! 'Tis sweet to think -- Through grief and through danger (The Irish peasant to his mistress) -- When thro' life unblest we rove -- When thro' life unblest we rove (harmonized for four voices) -- It is not the tear at this moment shed -- It is not the tear at this moment shed (harmonized for two voices) -- 'Tis believed that this harp which I wake now for thee -- Love's young dream -- Tho' dark are our sorrows -- Weep on, weep on -- Lesbia hath a beaming eye -- I saw thy form in youthful prime -- By that lake whose gloomy shore -- She is far from the land -- Nay tell me not -- Avenging and bright -- What the bee is to the flowret -- Love and the novice (Here we dwell) -- This life is all chequer'd with pleasures and woes -- The shamrock -- At the mid hour of night -- One bumper at parting -- The last rose of summer -- The young May moon -- The minstrel boy -- The valley lay smiling before me (The song of O' Ruark, Prince of Breffni) -- Oh! Had we some bright little isle -- Farewell! But whenever you welcome the hour -- Oh! Doubt me not -- You remember Ellen -- I'd mourn the hopes that leave me -- Come o'er the sea -- Has sorrow thy young days shaded -- No, not more welcome -- When first I met thee -- While history's muse -- The time I've lost in wooing -- Oh! Where's the slave -- Come, rest in this bosom -- 'Tis gone, and for ever -- I saw from the beach -- Fill the bumper fair |
