CD 1

  1. Overture
  2. It must be so
  3. Pour forth no more
  4. No more to Ammon’s god and king
  5. But Jephtha comes. Kind heav’n
  6. Virtue my soul shall still embrace
  7. ‘Twill be a painful separation
  8. In gentle murmurs will I mourn
  9. Happy this embassy
  10. Dull delay, in piercing anguish
  11. Ill suits the voice of love
  12. Take the heart you fondly gave
  13. I go. My soul
  14. These labours past
  15. What mean these doubtful fancies
  16. If, Lord, sustain’d
  17. Tis said. Attend, ye chiefs
  18. O God, behold our sore distress
  19. Some dire event hangs o’er our heads
  20. Scenes of horror
  21. Say, my dear mother
  22. The smiling dawn of happy days
  23. Such, Jephtha, was the haughty king’s reply
  24. When His loud voice in thunder spoke
  25. Glad tidings of great joy
  26. Up the dreadful steep ascending
  27. ‘Tis well. Haste, haste, ye maidens
  28. Tune the soft melodious lute
  29. Again Heav’n smiles
  30. Freedom now once more
  31. His mighty arm
  32. In glory high

CD 2

  1. Hail, glorious conqueror
  2. Welcome as the cheerful light
  3. Welcome thou, whose deeds
  4. Horror, confusion!
  5. Open thy marble jaws
  6. Why is my brother thus afflicted?
  7. First perish thou
  8. If such thy cruel purpose
  9. On me let blind mistaken zeal
  10. Oh, spare your daughter
  11. Such news flies swift
  12. For joys so vast
  13. Happy they!
  14. Deeper, and deeper still
  15. How dark, O Lord, are Thy decrees
  16. Hide thou thy hated beams
  17. A father, off’ring up his only child
  18. Waft her, angels, through the skies
  19. Ye sacred priests
  20. Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods
  21. Doubtful fear and rev’rent awe
  22. Rise, Jephtha, and ye rev’rend priests
  23. Happy, Iphis shalt thou live
  24. For ever blessed be Thy holy name
  25. Theme sublime of endless praise
  26. Let me congratulate
  27. Laud her, all ye virgin train
  28. Oh, let me fold thee
  29. With transport, Iphis
  30. My faithful Hamor
  31. All that is in Hamor mine
  32. Ye house of Gilead
