William Byrd (c1540-1623) : Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets. The Eagle's force ; Of Flattering Speech ; In Winter Cold ; Whereat an Ant ; Who Looks may Leap ; Sing ye to our God ; I have been young, but now am old ; In crystal towers ; The sweet and merry month of May ; Let Not The Sluggish Sleep ; A feigned friend ; Awake mine eyes ; Come jolly swains ; What is life, or worldly pleasure? ; Fantasia a 4 ; Come Let Us Rejoice ; Retire, my soul ; Arise Lord into thy rest ; Come, woeful Orpheus ; Sing we merrily unto God our strength ; Blow up the trumpet ; Crowned with flow'rs and lilies ; Wedded to will is witless ; Make ye joy to God all the earth ; Have mercy upon me, O God ; Fantasia a 6 ; This Day Christ was Born ; O God that guides the cheerful sun ; Praise our Lord, all ye Gentiles ; Turn our captivity ; Ah silly Soul ; How vain the toils.
