I have that album, and the liner notes are still in it.

The Wild Geese
a verse from 'The Green Linnet' sung by Dolores Keane
The Bonny Bunch of Roses - don't know if sung or instrumental
a distant echo of the 'Marseillaise'
Madam Bonaparte, 'a contemporary set dance'
finale from Bochsa's* Harp Concerto no. 1 in Dm, opus 15
'The March to Victory' by Paddy Maloney
'Bonaparte's Retreat,' an Irish set dance
another verse from 'the bonny bunch of roses'
'The Downfall of Paris,' a set dance
another verse from 'the green linnet'

*Bochsa was harper to Napoleon.
