List of choral works
- Almighty God, give us grace
- Although soft sleep
- Blow, blow thou winter wind
- Crabbed age and youth
- Doubt thou the stars are fire
- From Oberon, in Fairy land

- O Lord, raise up
- Orpheus with his lute
- She is faithless and I am undone
- Sigh no more, ladies
- That day of wrath
- The cloud-cap't towers
- To be gazing on those charms
- Ye spotted snakes
