Overture
Track length6:52
Behold! auspicious flashes arise
Track length1:40
Lucky omens bless our rites
Track length2:37
Daughter, obey
Track length1:08
Ah! me! - O Jove!
Track length2:57
See she blushing turns her eyes
Track length0:20
Alas! she yields, and has undone me
Track length0:43
Why dost thou thus untimely grieve?
Track length2:52
Avert these omens, all ye pow'rs!

Again auspicious flashes rise

Thy aid, pronubial Juno, Athamas implores!
Track length0:17
Cease your vows
Track length0:32
O Athamas, what toture hast thou borne!
Track length0:31
Turn, hopeless lover, turn thy eyes
Track length4:16
She weeps!
Track length0:25
Your tuneful voice my tale would tell
Track length5:07
Too well I see, thou wilt not understand me
Track length0:57
You've undone me

Sinfonia
Track length1:27
Iris, impatient of thy stay
Track length0:52
There from mortal cares retiring
Track length3:56
No more! I'll hear no more!
Track length1:49
Hence, Iris, hence away
Track length3:11
Come, Zephyrs, Come
Track length6:08
Oh sleep, why dost thou leave me?
Track length3:16
Let me not another moment bear the pangs of absence
Track length0:21
Lay your doubts and fears aside
Track length3:10
You are mortal and require time to rest
Track length0:25
With fond desiring
Track length3:21
How engaging, how endearing
Track length1:20
Ah me! why sighs my Semele!
Track length1:19
I must with speed amuse her
Track length3:35
Now Love that everlasting boy invites
Track length2:27
By my command
Track length1:05
Where'er you walk
Track length4:26
Dear Sister, how was your passage hither?

Larghetto e piano per tutto
Track length1:16
Somnus, awake! Raise thy reclining head!
Track length0:27
Leave me, loathsome light
Track length3:27
Dull God, Canst Thou Attend the Water's Fall
Track length0:34
More sweet is that name
Track length2:33
My will obey, she shall be thine
Track length1:12
Obey my will
Track length1:47
My racking thoughts by no kind slumbers freed
Track length3:10
Thus shap'd like Ino
Track length1:43
Myself I shall adore
Track length6:41
Be wise, as you are beautiful
Track length1:49
Thus let my thanks be pay'd
Track length2:32
Rich odours fill the fragrant air
Track length0:21
Come to my arms, my lovely fair
Track length3:46
O Semele! Why Art Thou Thus Insensible?
Track length0:09
I ever am granting, you always complain
Track length2:03
Speak, Speak Your Desire
Track length0:42
You'll grant what I require?
Track length0:13
Then cast off this human shape
Track length0:26
Ah, take heed what you press!
Track length1:17
No, No, I'll take no less
Track length4:06
Ah, whither is she gone?
Track length2:47
Above measure is the pleasure, which my revenge supplies
Track length3:06
Ah me, too late I now repent
Track length2:51
Of my ill-boding dream
Track length0:13
Oh, terror and astonishment
Track length3:45
How I was hence remov'd
Track length0:54
See from above the belling clouds descend
Track length0:13
Sinfonia: Apollo come
Track length1:22
Apollo comes, to relieve your care
Track length0:48
Happy shall we be
Track length2:26
