REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 



JAn Anthem ard two yoluntarics for the O'gan 

 and Pwrio-forte, loitb a SeleBhn of tbi'ty- 

 eight fa-vourite PJ'a/m Tunes, avioiigfl which 

 arej'everal never before j>ubi>jhed. The ivhoU 

 infcriheJ to the Rev. Fergus Gr.-tham, A M. 

 Bj William Ikivgill, IVhitehu'ven. lOs. 6d. 



THIS volume of facred niufic will be 

 found to form a good orgamjl's com- 

 fanion. The anthem, thoiiE;h not with- 

 out fome traits of dilufe in this (pecies of 

 compofition, pofTeflTes many points that 

 entitle it to our commendation ; and the 

 voluntaries are calculated both lo pleafe 

 the ear and (hew the performer to advan- 

 tage. Of the pfaim tunes, tho(e which 

 >*ere already known to the public are fe- 

 lefted with tafte, and thole which come 

 from the pen of Mi. Howgill exhibit con- 

 fiderable talent for the produftion of that 

 familiar kind of church mufic. 



Ji Sonata for the Grand Piano foile, tiao 

 //•flAztJ, an Air iL'ith Variations, two Grand 

 Marches, four Dances, and the fivctirite 

 Scotch Air of hur.can Gray, •with eighteen 

 fiirjations. Dedicated to the Right Hon. 

 Lady Augufa Vifccuntefs Lowther ; Ly Wil- 

 liam Hoivgdl, of Whitcha-ven, . los. 6d. 



In the fonata (the firft piece in this col- 

 leftion) are introduced the " Biue Bell of 

 Scotland," " Spanifh Guittar," an Irifli 

 air in Harlequin Amulet, " Away with 

 Melancholy," and " Fiva Taili," all 

 with variations which do credit to Mr. 

 Howgill's fancy, while many of the paf- 

 fages in the original part of the compofi- 

 tion are mafterly and ftriktng. The 

 iD'diches arc bold!/ conceived, the dances 

 are fprightly, and the variation»to " Dun- 

 can Gray" are taficful and pleaJiiig, 

 Taken in the aggregate, tliis publication, 

 we muft (ay, i.s calculated to iiicreafe Mr. 

 Howgill's profeffional reputation, and we 

 hope its fale will be fuch at to well reward 

 li.is ingenious labours.

*' Anna, thou my firfl and only cbofen;" a fa^ 

 •vourite Song, Jung by Mrs Waller, at feve-' 

 rat private Concerts, The Words by Robert 

 Burnes ; the Mufic by y. Watler. is. 



The melody of this little fong is fmoolh, 

 tender, and expreffive. The ideas are 

 obvious, yet fo conneCled as to produce 

 a general novelty of effect ; and had the 

 excellent author lived to hear the notes 

 here given to his words, he would, we 

 will venture to fay, have declared them 

 to exprefs the fentiments that gave them 

 birth. 



A Grand March for the Piano-fsrtt cr Harp \ 

 compofed, and dedicated to Mfs H. Thornton, 

 by G. E. Griffin. T.S. 



This march is conceived with confider- 

 a'ole boldnefs ; and though not rn.irked by 

 any particular originality of idea, pro. 

 duces an efFeft honourable to Mr. Grif- 

 fin's abilities. The concluding move- 

 ment is animated and ftriking in its fub- 

 jc6f, and exhibits a pleafmg feries of well- 

 Conne6led pafTages. 

 A Duet for fw3 Performers on one Piano-forte I 



compofed and dedicated to Mijjes EHzabetb 



Sarah, and Sarah Elizabeth Barber, by T, 



Latour. 3;. 



The eafy and familiar (fyle of this duet 

 will recommend it to the notice of all 

 young pracliiioriers. The pafTages, while 

 they are well difpofed for the hand, are 

 pleafingly fancied, and the combined ef- 

 ted of the twoparts is fuch as to chal- 

 lenge the approbation of hearers of tafte.
