Just did a major edit as there were a number of missing songs that needed to be listed. This could probably be done better, but it's a start. Bkesselman ( talk) 18:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
As far as Love Could I Only Tell Thee is concerned, the number of performances and recordings of it over the years probably speak for themselves. There are recordings by (among others) Peter Dawson and (Covent Garden Principal) bass Norman Walker. There were copies of the sheet music sold in 3 different keys, as the image I posted shows. It was obviously not originally part of the show, but its subsequent fame as a separate song seems worthy of mention. I note your fine adjustments to my input. Any changes are fine by me. I will try to come up with some better citations and more info on this talk page later. Bkesselman ( talk) 05:24, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Clemence Bradley was heard at his best in "Love could I only tell thee" Hayden Coffin's famous song from "The Geisha" ..."
