“A Salute to Spring”
Music from 17th c. England, France, and Italy

I.
This merry pleasant Spring
It fell on a summer’s day
La girandola
Cloris sighed
Corranto
Have you seen the white lily grow?

II.
Fain would I change that note
Tobacco is like love
Polish dance
What greater grief
The Soldier’s Song

III.
Hero’s Lament: Nor com’st thou yet
