This
song was published in London Magazine, September 1748, under the title
"Moggy's Complaint of Jocky". It is in a different
(higher) key,and a slightly different arrangement than that described
in GM,but is essentially the same tune. Here
is an arrangement. |

This
Welsh song for New Year is now used as a Christmas tune (Deck the
Halls). Corda
Music has published a version (Nos Galan CMP435) from Jane Austen's
manuscript copy, available from Corda Music or Jane
Austen Books.
(Note the various spellings, you might find it as Nos Galen or Nos
Galan.)

| Duke
of York's March |
|
GM2:23
LV029/004 |
| |
There are several versions of this in LV, including one as a duet
(see LV037/050). In LV, search duke of york or
duke of yorks in title. Here
is an arrangement, loosely based on LV029/004.
Note that LV029/054 gives the composer/arranger as R. Spofforth
(see S); Austen's notebook gives no composer. |

|
GM2:28 |
|
GM
gives this work as a keyboard piece, tune with variations. I
have not found a similar arrangement, however The AmericanRevolution.org
song site gives
a version of the tune, so you can see what to look for.

| Old
Robin Gray |
|
GM2:29
LV108/038 & 167/028 |
| |
GM
lists this as a keyboard duet. LV108/038 (called Auld Robin Gray)
is not a duet, but is similar in tune. There are several other
versions in LV: search on robin gray in title.
Most have 'vocal embellishments', none is a duet.
Also look at
LV167/028 an 'overture' by 'Mr. Latour' (see
L) "in which is introduced the admired Air of Auld Robin
Gray" (pages 7&8), a keyboard work with the Robin Gray
tune and variation. (I will post a transcription.)

|
GM2:31
LV174/026a |
| |
GM
lists this as a keyboard duet. I have not yet found a good duet
arrangement. Note that this is the same tune as "Believe
me if all those endearing young charms". LV174/026a gives the
tune and both sets of words (Believe me and My Lodging).
There are also three versions of this song (none a duet) on the American
Sheet Music site. (Click Search keyword and search on My Lodging.) |

This
appeared in Hibernian Magazine of January 1784. Hibernian is available
on microfilm; I found it at UA. Here
is an arangement. Also called The Pidgeon, listed in Hibernian
as "An admired Song by the Author of Robin Gray, sung by Mrs.
Kennedy." (FYI, William Leeves was considered the author of
the Robin Gray tune, see above) |

| The
Prayer of the Sicilian Mariners (O Sanctissima) |
|
GM7:32
LV030/088 |
| |
For
one or two voices with keyboard. LV030/088 gives the latin words (first
verse) and the English translation, and parts for one to three voices.
You can find the latin words for other verses in many places online,
such as here
in Hymns and Carols of Christmas. There is another vocal
duet version at LV108/042, but it only has the English words. I have
an arrangement of this (sung for AustenAL in '04) that I may post. |

| Romance
du Major André |
|
GM7:35
see LV014/078 |
| |
GM
describes this as a keyboard work (no words). LV does not have
a piece exactly like this, but LV014/078 "Major André's
Complaint" is similar enough that it seems likely it's devrived
from the same tune (with words added.) |
