Nocturne, Op.60 (1958)
On A Poet's Lips I Slept ...
Below The Thunders Of The Upper Deep ...
Encintured With A Twine Of Leaves ...
Midnight's Bell Goes Ting, Ting, Ting ...
But That Night When On My Bed I Lay ...
She Sleeps On Soft, Last Breaths; But No Ghost Looms ...
What Is More Gentle Than A Wind In Summer ...
When Most I Wink, Then Do Mine Eyes Best See ...
Phaedra, Op.93 (1975)
Prologue - In May, In Brilliant Athens ...
My Lost And Dazzled Eyes ...
Venus Resigned Her Altar To My New Lord ...
Phaedra In All Her Madness Stands Before You ...
The Wife Of Theseus Loves Hippolytus ...
Oh Gods Of Wrath ...
Death To The Unhappy's No Catastrophe ...
My Time's Too Short, Your Highness ...
Chills Already Dart Along My Boiling Veins
