  • Songs of three voices: Fly love aloft to heaven -- Away, thou shalt not love me -- Ay me, can every rumour? -- Weep O mine eyes -- Dear pity, how, ah how? -- Ye restless thoughts.
  • Songs of four voices: What needeth all this travail? -- O fools can you not see? -- Alas, what hope of speeding? -- Lady, when I behold -- Thus saith my Cloris bright -- Adieu sweet Amarillis.
  • Songs of five voices: Die hapless man -- I fall, O stay me -- And though my love abounding -- I always beg -- Thus love commands -- Lady, your words do spite me -- Alas, what a wretched life -- Unkind, O stay thy flying -- I sung sometimes my thoughts -- Flora gave me fairest flowers.
  • Songs of six voices: Sweet love, if thou wilt gain -- Lady, when I behold -- When shall my wretched life? -- Of joys and pleasing pains -- My throat is sore -- Cruel behold my heavy ending -- Thou art but young thou sayest -- Why dost thou shoot?
  • A madrigal from the "Triumphs of Oriana": The lady Oriana.
  • Two motets from Leighton's "Tears and lamentations": I am quite tired with my groans -- O God the rock of my whole strength.
