Sets for the summer performing season

I’ve been promising lists of sets to work on for the Walk for
Hunger and other possible performances next summer. Comments and
suggestions are welcome.

River set

• Billings, By the rivers of Watertown
• Estans assis, aux rives aquatiques
• Gibbons, Silver Swan
• Silver Swan round?
• Dowland, “Me, me and none but me”
• Arcadelt “Il bianco e dolce cigno”
• Possibly the 5-part “Il bianco e dolce cigno”
• Possibly other “Rivers of Babylon settings”. I particularly like
  the one we sing in West Gallery to the Walter Scott “Dies Irae”
  translation, which was originally published to a Thomas Campian
  “Rivers of Babylon”

May set

• Morley, Now is the Month of Maying
• Morley, April is in my Mistress Face
• Dowland, “Clear or Cloudy”
• Maybe Campian, “My love hath vowd hee will forsake mee”
• Possibly Morley “Good Morrow fair ladies of the May”
• I have the impression we’ve run into other stuff about spring and
  May celebrations lately — do other people remember better?

Drinking Songs

• Rounds
  • He that will and Alehouse keep
  • Let us drink and be merry
  • 5 reasons
  • He that drinks is immortal
  • Tis Women
  • I gave her cakes and I gave her ale
  • Slaves are they that heap up mountains
• To Anacreon in Heaven
• Quant je boy du vin claret tout tourne
• Vignon, Vignon
• Changeons propos
• Vive la serpe

I have ommitted several rounds that we could pretty easily work up,
so if anyone’s favorites aren’t here, let me know and I’ll add them.

I think at any particular performance, we wouldn’t do all of those,
but it’s good to have that many available.
