- Buy, buy, buy! Who'll buy?
- Who'll buy my sweet primroses?
- Cold blows the wind on Cotsall
- Ballads! Buy my ballads, pretty ballads!
- As I was a-walking one morning in spring
- Bless me! What's this?
- Show me a richer man in all this town
- See, see, here they come!
- They're gone!...My husband that's to be!
- Sweetheart, life must be full of care
- Alone I would be as the wind and as free
- Hey day! she will obey
- Sweet little linnet that longs to be free
- Horse hoofs, horse hoofs, thunder down the valleys
- Mary, Mary come back, come back, come back I say!
- In the night-time I have seen you riding, riding
- Mary! Mary!
- Who'll fight? Who'll fight? A fight! Who's for a fight?
- Brave English lads, lovers of manly sport
- Down, down with John the butcher!
- Alone and friendless, on this foreign ground I am to die
- Are you ready? Go!
- Hugh the Drover!
- Oh, the devil and Bonyparty
- Past four o'clock, and dawn is coming
- Gaily go to die
- Hugh! My dear one!
- Rise up, my Mary; come away
- Dear sun, I crave a boon
- O I've been rambling all this night
- Here, queen uncrowned, in this most royal place
- The soldiers!
- Dropped from the ranks on a winter night
- Now you are mine!
- Halloo! Halloo, Mary and Hugh
Music reviews of Vaughan Williams: Hugh The Drover, or Love in the Stocks
Music Review: Very enjoyable and well-written symphonies
Rating: 5 Stars
As you can see from some of the other reviews of this album, Amazon has mixed up this album with some other works. That's par for the course; poor Luigi never did get the recognition he deserved. I suppose, as one other reviewer has inferred, he was a second-rate Haydn. Probably, Boccherini, good-natured soul that he was, would have accepted that as a complement. Having lived in Madrid, Spain for the last thirty-five years of his life, his late baroque music is infused with lively Spanish folk idioms and a sense of good-naturedness befitting a milder climate. This is the second album of Boccherini symphonies that Hyperion has released, and the recording quality is of Hyperion's usual very high standards. As the album notes state, these symphonies have delightful little melodic and harmonic surprises hidden in them at every turn. In fact, the sense of delight is scattered liberally through these symphonies. They make superlative background music to entertain while driving or just working around the house. They are not, however, pieces of music that you are going to want to sit down and really concentrate on listening to as you would some music by Beethoven. Neverthess, they are truly enjoyable works, guaranteed to lift your spirits and brighten your day.
