CREDO
Credo in unum Deum,
Patrem omnipotentem, factorem cæli et terræ,
visibilium omnium et invisibilium.
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum,
Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero,
Genitum non factum, consubstantialem Patri:
per quem omnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de cælis.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine:
et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato
passus et sepultus est.
Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas,
Et ascendit in cælum: sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos:
cuius regni non erit finis.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem:
qui ex Patre filioque procedit.
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:
qui locutus est per prophetas.
Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.
Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum.
Et vitam venturi sæculi.
Amen.
English:
I believe in one God,
The Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
God of God, Light of Light, true God of True God,
begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made,
who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven,
and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
He was also crucified for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
and was buried,
and on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
and who spoke through the prophets.
And one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I await the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

LIVE WITH ME AND BE MY LOVE
Live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
And all the craggy mountains yields.
There will we sit upon the rocks,
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, by whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
There will I make thee a bed of roses,
With a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider’d all with leaves of myrtle.
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Then live with me, and be my love.
If that the world and love were young,
And truth in ev’ry shepherd’s tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move,
To live with thee and be thy love.
Christopher Marlowe, ‘The passionate shepherd to his love’
WHEN DAFFODILS BEGIN TO PEER
When daffodils begin to peer,
With heigh! the doxy, over the dale,
Why, then comes in the sweet o’ the year;
For the red blood reigns in the winter’s pale.
The white sheet bleaching on the hedge,
With heigh! the sweet birds, O how they sing!
Doth set my pugging tooth on edge;
For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.
The lark, that tirra-lirra chants,
With heigh! with heigh! the thrush and the jay,
Are summer songs for me and my aunts,
While we lie tumbling in the hay.
The Winter’s Tale, Act IV, Scene III
IT WAS A LOVER AND HIS LASS
It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o’er the green corn-field did pass,
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie,
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
This carol they began that hour,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
How that a life was but a flower
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
And therefore take the present time,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
For love is crownèd with the prime
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
As You Like It, Act V, Scene III
SPRING
When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo; cuckoo; cuckoo;
O, word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen’s clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo; cuckoo; cuckoo;
O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene II
WHO IS SILVIA?
Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heav’n such grace did lend her,
That she might admired be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness:
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;
And, being help’d, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling;
To her let us garlands bring.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act IV, Scene II
FIE ON SINFUL FANTASY!
Fie on sinful fantasy!
Fie on lust and luxury!
Lust is but a bloody fire,
Kindled with unchaste desire,
Fed in heart, whose flames aspire,
As thoughts do blow them higher and higher.
Pinch him, fairies, mutually;
Pinch him for his villainy;
Pinch him, and burn him, and turn him about,
Till candles and starlight and moonshine be out.
The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act V, Scene V
HEY, HO, THE WIND AND THE RAIN
When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth ev’ry day.
But when I came to man’s estate,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;
‘Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gates,
For the rain it raineth ev’ry day.
But when I came, alas! to wive,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth ev’ry day.
But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth ev’ry day.
A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain;
But that’s all one, our play is done,
And we’ll strive to please you ev’ry day.
Twelfth Night, Act V, Scene I
Cheek to Cheek
Words and Music: Irving Berlin
Arranged: Jim Clements
Heaven, I'm in heaven-
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak,
and I seem to find the happiness I seek-
when we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in heaven;
and the cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish, like a gambler's lucky streak,
when we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh, I’d love to climb to mountain
and reach the highest peak,
but it doesn't thrill me half as much
as dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh, I love to go out fishing
in a river, or a creek,
but I don't enjoy it half as much
as dancing cheek to cheek…
Oh darlin’, won’t you please dance with me?
I want my arms about you!
The charm about you
will carry me through
to heaven! I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak!
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
when we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek.
I really want to go dancing!

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Words: Eric Maschwitz
Music: Manning Sherwin
Arranged: Gene Puerling
That certain night, the night we met
there was magic abroad in the air,
there were angels dining at the Ritz
and a nightingale sang in Berk’ley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong,
but I'm perfectly willing to swear
that when we kissed and said goodbye
a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town,
poor puzzled moon he wore a frown,
oh how could he know we two were so in love!
The whole darn world seemed upside down,
The streets of town were paved with stars
it was such a romantic affair,
and as we kissed and said goodbye
a nightingale sang in Berk’ley Square.
The Lover’s Arithmetic
(From “Love Songs for Springtime”)
Paul Halley
In love to be sure what disasters we meet,
What torment what grief and vexation;
I’ve crosses encountered my hopes to defeat,
will scarcely admit numeration.
I courted a maid and I called her divine,
and I begged she would change her condition;
For I thought that her fortune united with mine,
would make a most handsome addition.
Chorus
Heigh-o, dot and go one,
Fal lal de ral do ra,
Heigh-o, dot and go one,
Fal lal de ral do ra.
When married, a plaguy subtraction I found,
her debts wanted much liquidation;
And we couldn’t so badly our wishes were crowned,
get forward in multiplication.
Division in wedlock is common they say,
and both being fond of the suction;
I very soon had to exclaim ‘Lack-a-day!
my fortune’s gone into reduction.’
Chorus
The rules of proportion Dame Nature forgot
when my Deary she formed, so the fact is,
And she had a toungue to embitter my lot,
which she never could keep out of practice,
One day after breaking my head with a stool,
said I ‘Ma’am, if these are your actions,
I’m off; for you know I’ve been so long at school
I don’t want to learn vulgar fractions.’
Chorus

Caravan
Duke Ellington, Irving Mills and Juan Tizol
Arranged: Paris Rutherford
This day, tonight something special
At night the stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan.
Oh sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The memory of our caravan.
Oh, this is so exciting
When I find you are so inviting,
It’s so wonderful when you’re in my arms
As I thrill now to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan.
Oh, this is so exciting
When I find you are so inviting,
It’s so wonderful when you’re in my arms
As I thrill now to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan.
