I would run out and get The Folger Consort recording: A Distant
Mirror...Music of the Fourteenth Century and Shakespeare's Music (1986
Delos).
This is a beautiful recording...The "Shakespeare's" cuts include:
It Was a Lover and his Lass- Thomas Morley
Witches Dance 1 - Anon/Masque
The Willow Song - Anon
Witches Dance 2 - Anon/Masque
Suite from the Fairy Queen 1 - Henry Purcell
Full Fathom Five - Henry Purcell
The Willow Song - Pelham Humphrey
Come Unto These Yellow Sands - Henry Purcell
The Owl - Thomas Arne
Blow Blow Thou Winter's Wind - Thomas Arne
Where the Bee Sucks - Thomas Arne
Suite from the Fair Queen 2 - Henry Purcell
I'm sure you will find something on this disk that will charm that high
school class.
