Musical Numbers
The numbering of the songs follows that in the vocal score. The printed libretto does not include the songs through number 4, and numbers the song labeled as song 5 below as song 1. Thus, to determine the number given to a song in the printed libretto, subtract 4 from the number assigned to that song below.
- No. 1, " Prelude"
- No. 2, Goodbye, Goodbye
- No. 3, When nature sleeps
- No. 4, Eh! What is that ye say
- No. 5, Ha! What was that
- No. 6, It does perplex, annoy and vex
- No. 7, We fly to fields of fancy
- No. 8, Entr'acte and Recit: I breathe, I live
- No. 9, Moments so fleeting
- No. 10, Would you know that maiden fair
- No. 11, In pity tell, O Lady mine
- No. 12, I stand on my authority
- No. 13, At twenty-three Lord Carnaby
- No. 14, 'Tis Done, the spell is broken

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:
“I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
