I Attempt from Love’s Sickness to Fly (Purcell)
Flow, My Tears (Dowland)
Cara e Dolce (A. Scarlatti)
Have You Seen but a Whyte Lillie Grow? (Anon., arr. A. Dolmetsch)
The Lass with the Delicate Air (Arne)
I Saw Her as I Came and Went (Rustin)
Ah! The Sighs that Came from My Heart (Anon. arr. Rustin)
Gather ye Rosebuds while ye May (Lawes)
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen
Ezekiel Saw the Wheel
There is a Balm in Gilead
Careless Love
You Don’t Have to Ride Jim Crow! (Anon., lyrics Rustin/Houser)
Go, Tell it on the Mountain
Mary, What You Gonna Name Your Pretty Little Baby?
Wasn’t That a Mighty Day?
I Know the Lord Laid His Hands on Me
Shepherd, Where’d You Lose Your Sheep?
Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
Lonesome Valley
Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?
He Never Said a Mumblin’ Word
Lord, I Don’t Care Where You Bury My Body
He Arose
He is King of Kings
