NEW MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. 
———— 
Massimino’s Singing Tutor, on an entirely 
new plan, chiefly for the use of Fdmi- 
lies and Academies; with Exercises in 
Harmony, by J. Green. : 12s. 
HOUGH, as faras regards that part 
of Mr. Logier’s system of tuition 
which includes the simultaneous com- 
bination of practitioners, we are not 
among its professed admirers 5 we par- 
tialiy allow its merits, and its preten- 
sions to patronage; and as far as that 
reserve will permit, we approve of Mr. 
Green’s adoption of the Logerian plan. 
This work adds to an assemblage of all 
the general, and, indeed,,we may say, 
all the dest rules already Jaid down fer 
correct and finished vocal performance, 
hinis for the guidance of governesses 
and parents engaged in this province of 
female education, and remarks and ex- 
ercises, which cannot be attended to 
without assisting the reader ; especially 
the private student whe is not inva 
situation to receive viva voce instruc- 
tion. 
Mr. Green, in his introduction, or 
preface, informs us that he first de- 
veloped his mode of diffusing the art of 
singing at Paris, in the year 1816; and 
that although his school was slowly 
formed, aud did not for some time an- 
swer his object, in the most material of | 
all its points, the proposed rapid and un- 
comman progress of his pupils; never- 
theless, it appears, that by perseverance, 
he ultimately succeeded; but that his 
success was no soooer perceived and 
acknowledged, than some of his rivals 
claimed it as an old invention of their 
owu, wliile others declared they had 
tried it without finding it to be adequate 
to its purpose. The precepts are ranged 
under different classes, and form a pro- 
gressional series of indices by which 
the practitioner is almost compelled to 
advance in his art. The successive in- 
tervals of the major and minor octave 
are given seriatim, and the tones of 
the chord, or loud marks of the voice, 
are artfully insinuated, rather than 
abraptly obtruded ; and the same use- 
ful method is used in regard to the se- 
mitonic intervals, the command of 
which, perhaps, would not be more 
speedily, or more securely attained than 
by the means here adopted. All the 
various vocal excellencies are kept fully 
in sight; and on the whole, we cannot 
justly dismiss this article without re- 
commending if to the serious attention 
of those who are anxious fo arrive by 
the shortest road, at that pomt of ex- 
cellence which every student of so po- 
life and fascinating an art as that of 
singing with correctness and effect, 
ought to have in view. 
Books 1,2 and 3, of a Treatise on Har- 
mony, with Practical Examples, and 
Thirty Studies in all the Major and 
Minor Keys. Composed and selected by 
Charles Fi ederich Horn. Each book 5s. 
Mr. Horn has embedied in this di- 
dactic publication, a considerable va- 
riety ef intelligence, equally necessary 
to the thesretical and practical musi- 
cian. The whole is comprised in three 
books, the first of which is dedicated to 
the explanation of the rules ofharmony, 
and counterpoint in general; the se- 
cond to the relations of keys, as majors 
and minors, and the character and 
ulility of passing notes; the third and 
last, to the practical application of the 
rules antecedently given. Without 
meaning to detract from the general 
merit of this work, we are obliged to 
observe, that so much had already been 
done in this way, before Mr. Horn put 
his pen to paper, that little or no scope 
was left for the exercise of his ingenuity 
or industry. It is, however, due to 
him to say, that in some instances, he 
has given additional Incidity to what 
had received the light of other theorists, 
and that his examples are as_ well se- 
lected
