EDGAR BAINTON - List of Songs and Part-Songs

Bainton’s songs and part-songs form the largest part of his creative output. Quite a number of the solo songs were presents for his wife. The part-songs were written at a time when choirs, competitive festivals and school singing demanded a ready supply of such works from composers of Bainton’s period. Wherever possible, works are listed in chronological order.
