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
- No. 15, The subject drop (Finale)

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
