REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS, 
£¢ See our Oars with Feathered Spray,” the 
celebrated Boat Glee, sung by Mrs. Vaughan, 
Mr. W. Wynnett, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. 
F. B. Sale, at Messrs. Wyanett, and Mr. 
Vaughan’s Vocal Concerts, Willis’s Rooms. 
Composed by Sir Fobn Stevenson, Mus. 
~ Doc. 2s. 6d. 
HTS glee, which has also been sung 
with distinguished applause, in the 
favourite Melo Drama of the Patriot, or 
Hermit of Saxellen, in Dublin, does high 
credit to Sir John Stevenson’s taste and 
science. The construction, though sim- 
ple; is strongly effective; the parts, de- 
pendently, or independently, considered, 
display a sense of the effect wanted, and 
a ready command of the means to pro- 
duce it: neither is the beauty of the 
melody to be forgotten, any more than 
the nice adjustment of the harmony. 
“6 Heis gone on the Mountains.” The Coronach, 
or Funeral Song, from the Lady of the Lake, 
by Walter Scott, esq. Sung with unbounded 
applause at the public and private Concerts in 
London and Dublin. Composed, and inscribed 
to Miss Westby, by Sir F. Stevenson, Mus. 
Deo. 35. 
An ease of conception, and grace’ of 
manner, so strikingly mark this compo- 
sition, as to render it peculiarly attrac- 
tive and affecting. The melody is every 
where sweetly delicate, and the harmony 
is richly and judiciously embodied. 
** He is gone on the Mountains.” The Coronach, 
or Funeral Song, from the Lady of the Lake, 
by Walter Scott, esq. The Music by Themas 
« Atwood, esq. 1s. 6d, 
The task of comparing the productions 
of living authors, is generally a more 
positive than pleasing duty-to re- 
viewers; but in the présent instance, the 
language of commengation may justly be 
‘dealt out with so equal a hand, that we 
ean gratify one composer without giving 
pain to the other; and say with correct= 
‘ness, that, in this trial of their skill, Sir 
John Stevenson and Mr, Atwood, have 
‘equal claims to the prize, and, like Virs 
gil’s Shepherds, defy the preference of 
their judge. 
4 Thema, with Six Variations, for the Piano- 
forte. Composed by F. W. Crouch. 3s. 
This Thema, which ,is accompanied 
with a superjoined part for a flute, and 
one separately printed, for a violoncello, 
is as simple as it is pleasing; and the va- 
riations, in which nothing extraneous or 
extravagant is affected, are conceived in 
a style perfectly analogous to the sub- 
ject, and produce an effect at once na~ 
tural and agreeable. 
Six Canzonets, with an Accompaniment for the 
Piano.forte, or Harp. Composed, and dedi-~ 
cated to Miss L. C. Cooke, by Richard 
Light. 8s. 
We find in these canzonets some easy 
flowing passages. The sentiments of 
the words are well consulted, and the 
general cast of the melodies bespeak that 
respectable portion of talent, from which, 
by Mr. Light’s furtker cultivation of this 
species of composition, we unhesita- 
tingly argue much future excellence. 
A favorite Sicilian Air, arranged as a Ronde 
for the Harp. Composed and dedicated tc 
Mrs. Carleten, by L, De Marin. 2s. 
This rondo is all that the composer 
designed it to be, a familiar and attrace 
tive little exercise for the piano-forte, 
The passages are well disposed for the 
juvenile hand, and, while they win the 
ear, cannot but improve the finger, - 
“Ta Majesteuse,” a favourite’ March, and 
Three Original Airs, De Dance, for the Piano- 
forte. Composed ty G. G. Ferari. 33s. 
In this little publication we find much 
pleasing variety. The several movements 
are atonce, generally speaking, good in 
themselves, aud are so arranged in the 
work as to follow each other with every 
advantage that judicious succession could 
secure.
