Off the top of my head....I think "If music be the food of love" is gloriously beautiful, as I do "Music for a while"(what could be more dramatic than all those snakes dropping?!). Another sizable piece is "The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation". For a bawdy fun tune, "Man is for the woman made". Just a few quick ideas... Barbara
