12 songs; Ty hvězdičky tam na nebi/The stars that twinkle in the sky. Andante; Mně zdálo se žes umřela/I dreamed that you were dead. Andante con moto; Já jsem ten rytíř z pohádky/I am that fairy-tale knight. Allegro; Když Bůh byl nejvíc rozkochán/When God was in a happy mood. Andante; Umlklo stromů šumění/The soughing of the trees has ceased. Moderato; Přilítlo jaro z daleka/The spring came flying from afar. Allegro; Když jsem se díval do nebe/When I was looking to the sky. Allegro; Vy malí, drobní ptáčkové/You little, tiny birds. Allegretto; Jsem jako lípa košatá/I am like a lavish linden tree. Allegretto con grazia; Vy všichni, kdo jste stísněni/All ye who are oppressed. Andante; Ten ptáček, ten se nazpívá/A bird sings many a song. Allegro scherzando; Tak jak ten měsíc v nebes báň/Like the moon dwells in heaven.
