W.M. Huntley Songs in 12 Keys

In the quest to have well rounded banjo audio pallet, I've been looking for these songs by Huntley so that I can hear the banjo all around the circle. Does anyone have a copy of these songs that are excerpted in W.M. Huntley's Complete School of Harmony for Banjo?

Enchantment

"Dewdrop" Waltz"

"Queen of the Waves" Waltz

"Perfection" Mazourka

"Victoria" Schottische

"Morning Glory" Schottische

"Mayflower Waltz"

"Murmuring Sea"

I don't have copies of these. I found a Victoria Schottische on Youtube

Here's some info on Queen of the Waves, including words, the defining element which makes a musical work a *song*.

All the Huntley pieces I have I scanned and put on the archive (including a small catalog that is undated).

Thank you both for helping with this. The songs linked are not by Huntley. Both of the songs have excerpts in the Complete School of Harmony for the Banjo by Huntley. Just so a visual representation is available, "Queen of the Waves" Waltz is on page 43, Victora Schottische is on page 59. As always, I appreciate the help.
