CD1
Act I
1 Chorus of Shades of Dead Old Cornish Men and Women
2 Where is the Queen?
3 No foot, I swear, set I in Brittany
4 Why did Heav'n warrant in its whim?
5 How little he knows
6 I dream that the dearest I ever knew had died
7 Could he but live for me a day
8 Maybe indeed he did not die
9 When I set out for Lyonesse
10 O, the opal and the sapphire
11 Let's meet again tonight, my fair
CD2
Act II
1 Prelude
2 A ship sheers round, and brings up in the bay
3 I saw them coming down to learn my errand
4 So, after all, am I to share you
5 If it's ever spring again
6 Yea, love, true is it sadness suits me best
7 O murderer
8 No sight nor sound of her
9 Indulge no more may we in that sweet bitter pastime
10 Chorus of Shades of Dead Old Cornish Men and Women
