Here is a selection of songs for the Milford concert. Go Little Book, song at the begining,² and if the composer allows, at the end as well. Then, do you think you could make two short groups of 8 minutes each, or one long group of 16 minutes out of the following?
4 Seasonable songs. The following from a Book of Songs: The Pink Frock, Cradle Song, The Colour, If it is ever spring
The following out of Prophet in the Land. Art thou poor? (really for tenor) Wither, O wither?³ What Pleasure (really for tenor, In Summertime.
