With Benjamin Britten, composer, at the piano. Words by Thomas Hardy. From a live concert in Argentina, 1967. Here are seven of the eight songs from Britten's cycle. My apologies for the misplaced titles. The first song, "At day-close" is not included! It did not appear on my audio source. Thus the songs are all mistitled. Here is the order of the video:

1. "Midnight on the Great Western" (or The Journeying Boy)
2. "Wagtail and Baby" (A Satire)
3. "The little old Table"
4. "The Choirmaster's Burial" (or The Tenor Man's Story)
5. "Proud Songsters" (Thrushes, Finches and Nightingales)
6. "At the Railway Station, Upway" (or The Convict and Boy with the Violin)
7. "Before Life and after"
