Review of New Mufical Publications. 



[Nov. 1, 



rot fail to improve the finger of the young; 

 pra6li(ioner. Mr. Howgill has, with 

 equal caie, attentleJ to the execution of 

 both hanHs, and arranged the whole with 

 a judgment which beCpeaks patient and 

 mature confideraiion. We are, we muft 

 confefs, very partial to tl)e old variations 

 of this Ground, bur, neverthelefs, are dif- 

 pofed to acknowledge confiderabie attrac- 

 tion and utility in the prefent publication. 



The celebrated March performed by his Royai 

 Highncjs the Duke of York's Band, ivtih ' the 

 greatefi ylpplaufe, at yaiixhalt Gardens. 

 Compofed and dedicated to Colonel Thomas Gait- 

 jkill, 'by iV. P. R Cope. IS. 



This march is conceived with fpirit, and 

 fcored with a refpeftable degree of judg- 

 ment. The introdufli; n of the ?«;'«o?- of 

 the origin.tl key, as a relief to the princi- 

 pal fulijtfl, is judicious, a» alfo the rolling 

 oafs given to the balVoon. The compolcr 

 has attached to the compofition a piano- 

 forte part, which hy praftiiioners in ge- 

 neral will be found ufctul. 



^ new Overture (A'o. \z) for the Piano-forte, 

 in luhich is introduced the much-admired Air 

 ef " Vijlen to the Viice of Lc-ve.'" Com- 

 fofcd, and dedicated to Mifs EliTia Dent, by 

 Mr. Latotir, 3^. 



This overture is pleafing in all its 

 movements, which are happily variegated, 

 and yet poflTffs unity of defign and confilf- 

 cncy of tffe6t. The drains are five in 

 number, of which the adopted air forms 

 the fourth, and with much grace and 

 fweetnefs introduces the ear to the con- 

 cluding gavot. 



«•' Poor Mar)' ;" fung by Mifs Tyrer. Harmo- 

 nized and dedicated to the Duchefs of Dc'von- 

 j}y:re, by Louis Jaujcn. \s. 6d. 



*' Poor Mary," the words of which are 

 Written by Captain Roberts, is an afFe6l- 

 ing little ballad, and has been dcl'crvedly 

 received at Drury-lane Thcatie with con- 

 fiderabie appl^ufe. Ladies whofe voices 

 are not of extenfive compal's will find 

 themfelves much accommodated by the li- 

 mits to which the compolcr has conlined 

 this melody. 

 Three Sonatas Jor the Pianoforte. Compofed, 



and dedicated to Mifs Hoiuard, by L. Plobe- 



recht. 61. 



We find in thefe fonatas many brilliant 

 nnd ftriking pafliges. The movements 

 are, ir.deed, every where elegant, and, for 

 the moft part, peculiarly aniinaied. The 

 notes are I'q commodioufly difpoled for the 

 hand, as tS; obviate even the danger of 



falfe fingering; and thofe who praflife 



this let of fnnatas with csre, will not fail 



to derive from them much improvement. 



*' Good Morning,'" an Anf-wer to Mr. Mocre'i 



Ballad of *' Good Night," for the Piano- 



foite, by Auguji Voight. The IVords by 



Fred. Bryan. 21. 



The melody of this fong is delicate and 

 attraflive. A certriin light, airy effeil 

 peivadei the whole, that very happily en- 

 forces the fenfe of the words. The bafsj 

 on the whole, is well chofen, and the ac- 

 companiment is calculated to heighten the 

 pleafure of the ear. 



'• The Maid of Lodl," a fa-vow ile Ballad \ 

 arranged as a Rondo by Augufus Foight. 11. 



The familiarity and preitinels of its 

 digreflive matter will greatly recommend 

 thi> little publication. The original air is 

 ingenioufly ramified and embclliflied, and 

 the whole is fo blended as to produce a 

 uniform and attraflive efteil. 



" The Orphan Boy,'" a favourite Song; fung by 

 Mafer Gray, at yauxhall Gardens. Com- 

 pofed by Mr. Hock. IS. 



The air of the " Orphan Boy," the 

 violoncello accompaniment to which was 

 fo charmingly executed at Vauxhall Gar- 

 dens by Mr E!ey, is pathetically expref- 

 five, and does credit both to the lafteand 

 feeling of this favourite compoler of bal- 

 hd melody. 



' ' 7he Orphan Girl ;'' a celebrated pathetic Bal- 

 lad, written by Mifs Beetham j the Mujic by 

 T. Purday. is. 



Eafe and nature pervade the melody of 

 this ballad, and give it that fimple and 

 affcfting charader demanded by the fub- 

 jeft of the words. The whole air is io 

 fufceptible of an accompaniments and 

 would have derived lb much aid from fuch 

 an addition, that we are forry Mr. Pur« 

 day did not give it that advantage. 



A favourite Irijh Air, •zvilb Variations ; com- 

 pofed and arranged for the Piano -forte by S. 

 hole. IS. 



The variations given to this air are of 

 a ll'ght but pleafing texture, and will be 

 found Very fuit.^bls to the praflice oi ju- 

 venile peiformers, among whom we do 

 not doubt of its becomin;; a favourite. 



Upon the merits of Dr. Biifby's chafle 

 and clafFica! nnific in the new JVIelo-Dra- 

 ma, now performing with io much ap- 

 plaufe at Covent Garden Theatre, wc 

 (hall give our comments as foon as it is 

 publiflKd.
