Z 344 (Ye tuneful Muses) Purcell, Henry Sinfonie Ye tuneful muses, raise your heads This point of time ends all your grief In his just praise your noblest songs let fall Try, try ev'ry strain From the rattling of drums and the trumpet's loud sounds With him he brings the partner of his throne Happy in a mutual love Whilst in music and verse our duty we show A new Irish Tune (Lilliburlero) Z 646 God is gone up Z 107 (Kanon für 7 Stimmen) A new Scotch tune G-Dur Z 655 Save me, O God Z 51 Welcome Song for James II.
