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

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow.”
—Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
