List of choral works

Away, dull care Break, break, break Bugle song Don’t leave the farm Echoes The fisher boy Give place In the wood The last days of autumn The messenger bird Midnight wind

Morning twilight Music and dances The night is still Now! The rail Skating Softly sweet The spirit’s lullaby The Spring is coming Summer longings The water!
