tracks

Act I
Over Hill, Over Dale
Oberon Is Passing Fell And Wrath
Well, Go Thy Way
How Now, My Love
Be It On Lion, Bear, Or Wolf, Or Bull
Welcome, Wanderer!
Is All Our Company Here?
Fair Love, You Faint With Wand'ring In The Wood
Through The Forest I Have Gone
Stay, Though Thou Kill Me, Sweet Demetrius
Come, Now A Roundel, And A Fairy Song
You Spotted Snakes With Double Tongue
What Thou Seest When Thou Dost Awake
Act II
Introduction: The Wood
Are We All Met?
I See Their Knavery
Be Kind And Courteous To This Gentleman
Hail, Mortal, Hail!
I Have A Reas'nable Good Ear In Music
How Now, Mad Spirit
Flower Of This Purple Dye
Puppet? Why So?
This Is Thy Negligence
Up And Down, Up And Down
On The Ground, Sleep Sound
Act III
My Gentle Robin, See'st Thou This Sweet Sight?
Helena! - Hermia! - Demetrius! - Lysander!
When My Cue Comes, Call Me
Have You Sent To Bottom's House?
Now, Fair Hyppolyta
If We Offend, It Is With Our Good Will
Gentles, Perchance You Wonder At This Show
In This Same Interlude It Doth Befall
O Grim-look'd Night, O Night With Hue So Black
O Wall, Full Often Hast Thou Heard My Moans
You, Ladies, You Whose Gentle Hearts Do Fear
This Lanthorn Doth The Horned Moon Present
Sweet Moon, I Thank Thee For Thy Sunny Beams
Asleep, My Love?
Come, Your Bergomask
Now The Hungry Lion Roars
