Ouvertüre
Twas at the royal feast
Happy, happy, happy pair!
Timotheus plac'd on high
The song began from Jove
The list'ning crowd admire the lofty sound
With ravish'd ears
The praise of Bacchus
Bacchus, ever fair - Bacchus' blessings are a treasure
Sooth'd with the sound
He chose a mournful muse
He sung Darius great and good
With downcast looks the joyless victor sate
Behold Darius, great and good
The mighty master smil'd to see
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures
War, he sung, is toil and trouble
The many rend the skies
The Prince, unable to conceal his pain
The many rend the skies
Now strike the golden Iyre - Break his bands of sleep - Hark! Hark! - The horrid sound
Revenge, Timotheus cries
Give the vengeance due
The princes applaud with a furious joy
Thais led the way - The princes applaud with a furious joy
Thus long ago - At last devine Cecilia came
Let old Timotheus yield the prize
Let old Timotheus yield the prize
Ouvertüre - Menuet
From harmony, from heav'nly harmony - When nature, underneath a heap
From harmony, from heav'nly harmony
What passion cannot music raise
The trumpets loud clangor
La Marche
The soft complaining flute
Sharp Violins proclaim
But oh! What art can teach
Orpheus could lead could lead the savage race
But bright Cecilia rais'd the wonder high'r
As from the pow'r of sacred lays
