REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 



M)idr':gal fcr One, Tioo, ard Three flakes, 'W'lh 

 ^lano-ForZr. and Viol'.n Accompamments. Tbt 

 Wordi by IV. Hamher, EJq 'f B^rmirgkaa, 

 the Mujk iy IV. Hoiugill, H'h'Uihaiien. 'is. 



MR. Howgill, ia the muiic he has 

 gii'eii to thele words, has, we 

 iiiuU 111 candour lay, evinced inucli tafte 

 and jud^'Tn€ut, Tlie fenfu, in itKjIt in- 

 fiances, is well evprelled ; the general 

 call of x.\\n melody is t'ancit'ul and engas;- 

 jns^, and the accoiupaiiiments are fpirited 

 ;uid appropriate. The poetry is lb good 

 as to ianction our following the example 

 «)f r\Ir. Howcrill, who quotes the hilt four 

 lines in his title page : 



** Why reprefs fond Love's emotion ? 



Why the mighty pow'r dil'ov.n ? 

 Call it not fiiitaftic notion^ 



Gods liie plealing pain hive known." 



S(^ eajy S'Aos for a Violoncello and Bafs, in 

 ■zuhich are introduced fa-vour'ite A.rSf by Ro- 

 bcrt Lindley. 8i, 



Thefe folos, though written in a per- 

 fectly familiar ftylo, exhibit fo much <jf 

 that tafte and retinement for which this 

 great inafter on the vioh)ncello has long 

 been fo greatly diftiiiguilhed, tliat they 

 cannot fail to prove highly ufcful to all 

 practitioners on that niaiily inftrument. 

 Among the airs with which Mr. Lindley 

 has chofen to enrich his publication, we 

 find thofe of " Lovely Nymph, alluage 

 my Auguifli," " Let Ambition fire thy 

 Wind," and " TJiere's no Luck about 

 the Houfc,'' all which form excellent 

 middle movements, and are certainly 

 well fuited to the character and gtnius of 

 the violoncello. 



t-jcrture (No. XV.) f;r the Piano Forte. 

 Ccmp'ifcJ, and dedicated 10 Lady Caroline 

 Bertie, by Mr. Latour. os. 



In this overture, the general caft of 

 ^hich does much credit to Mr. Latour's 

 taltc and fancy, we find the favouiitc air 

 of" With lowly Suit and plaintive Ditty" 

 very judiciouily introduced. The effect 

 of the whole is fci pleafing, and the com- 

 polition is fo well calculated to improve 

 the juvenile finger, tlrat we doubt not 

 of its being well received among piano- 

 forte practitioners. 



ElegiJC Stanxus, tributary to the Memory of 

 that illuprious PiJtriit and Stat:J':;an, the late 

 Pight I/cnourji.'e Charles James Fox. In- 

 fcnbed to the R:?Jt Hon. Earl FifZ-^oilUji?'., 

 Ly bis Lordjhip^s mijl .bedievt humble Scr-v.'^nt, 

 the Author. »s. 



The words of this laudable tribute'to 

 ttie lueuiory of oue of the jjrcoteA liattsf- 



iiien and fenatorinl orators tliis counlr/ 

 ha^ ever produced, are by Mr. K. tJut>- 

 ton, and f!o credit both to his ingenuity 

 and patriotifni : the mulic is by Mr, Joha 

 Hector Toivufcud, and, taken in th© 

 aggiegate, is by no means ill conceived. 

 The harmony and modulation ai'e rcfpec- 

 table, while the expreliion, generally 

 fpeaking, is juCt, and in fome iuliances 

 ftrikingly forcible. 



" The Blue Bells vf Scotland." Airar^ed ^iz m 

 Sonata for the Piano Forte, by I. Maz^^giu^ 

 EJq. IS. 6d. 



Mr. Mazzinghi has difplayed much <rf 

 ■Lis ufual tulle wnd addrcfs ia thefe vari- 

 ations, and in tiie fonuation of his paf- 

 fages h.as well confiilted the coiivenienco 

 of the juvenile hand. The execution is 

 prugrcliivc, and will be tbund highly 

 ufeful. 



" The Shof-t.-eepers,'"'' a neiu Soxg to an old 

 Tune. The Harmonies and Accompanimgijti 

 iy PVilliam Howgill, The fVords by 401 

 tdmateur. 



The old tunc Mr. Howgili has adopted 

 for thefe humourous words, written ia 

 anfwer to tiie French Emperor's calling 

 the Jinglilh u " nation of ftiopkcepers," 

 is that of the well-known long of " If 

 you have the fenfe but to balance « 

 llraw," anti which very aptly exprefs the 

 meaning of the poet. In the fvmphonie* 

 we find iiUroduced the popular airs of 

 the " Fall of Paris, Ally Croaker, KuJe 

 Britannia, Hearts of Oak, The Duke of 

 York's .Alarch, The Dufty Miller, Sir Da- 

 vid Hunter Blair, and the lloail Bcei' of 

 Old England," all of viiiich are fo inge- 

 nioully incor^jorated with the vocal part 

 of the mulic as to produce a national and 

 ftriking etlbct. 



♦' Pll be my Sandy^s Lafsfir Life," a favourite 

 Sects S:ing, •tuith an yiccompaniment for the 

 Pia.10 Forte, compofed by John Rofs. Tiie 

 Poetry by Mr. Rannie. Is. 



This is an engaging little ballad, and 

 will form a worthy addition to the cata- 

 logue of Mr. Rofs's ingenious and numer- 

 ous vocal productions. Tho melody i-s 

 perfectly Scotch, and will not fiil to 

 pleafe thofe who are partial to the pur« 

 fiiuple Caledonian ftraiu. 



" 2'e Vijicr.s IVtld" a fa-vourite Scir.f^, J""^ ^J 

 Mrs. Ajhe. Conipifed by T. Auwood,. Efj.
