A Collection of Glees and Rounds, for three, 
four, and five Voices, compofed by the Mem- 
‘bers of ihe Harmonic Society of Cambridge, and 
publifhed by Wilham Dixon. tos. 6d, 
-Preftan and Son. 
- “This work, which confifts of eleven 
glees, two rounds, a trio, a canon cancri- 
zans, for two voices, a madrigal for four 
voices, and a requiem for three voices, 
forms, in the aggregate, an excellent col- 
dection of choral mufic, and does much 
Honour as well te the talents, as to the 
mulical fcience of the CAMBRIDGE So- 
“eteTy. The glee, “‘ Welcome, dear Stel- 
va,” by Mr. WHEELER, is beautifully 
“imple in its melody, and the pathos of 
*¢ Ye gentle Mules,” by Mr. FLAGUE, is 
‘oft pathetically conveyed, though we 
«€annot approve of the tranfition from the 
flat third to the natural third at the words 
* break your bows,” which, as it is here 
Managed, is out of nature, and produces 
‘an aukward fal! in the bafs. “she canon 
cancrizans, by Mr. RicumMonp (which 
many of our readers will require to be 
anformed, is a fpecies of. compofition 
which may be fung either forwards or 
‘backwards) is ingenioufly confiructed ; 
and “ Bacchus, to thee alone’ by Mr. 
Drxon, is fet with fpirit, bur we mutt 
obferve, that fome of the parts (efpeci- 
ally the bafs}} are not always judicioufty 
adjutted. “the glees “* Ev'ry bour,”’ and 
*¢ Ye shepherds, come pity,’ both by the 
fame compofer, and ‘* Y¢ rofes,” by Mr. 
EIAGUE, and ** Boy, who tue rofy bowl,” 
by Mr. WHEELER, are charming com-~ 
pofitions in their feveral ftyles, and great- 
ty add to the value of this deferving pub- 
fication. 
Three Duets, Concertanti, for Two Flutes, by 
F. Raylt, +55. Corri, Duflek, & Co. 
Thefe Duets are compofed in an ex- 
eeedingly pleafing ftyle. The paflages are 
ingenious and well connected; moft of 
them very original, and fome brilliant. 
They are not calculated for ‘the praétice 
ef beginners, but require a performer 
already confiderably advanced, at leafl, if 
mot a proficient. ‘I’o fuch a performer, 
provided he poflels any degree of natural

Three Sonatas for the Piano Forte, with an Ac- 
companiment for a Violin er Flute, and Vi- 
oloncella, by Winceflaus Pichl, Piofefor of 
Maufic in Milan. 7s. 6d. Linley. 
‘We have perufed thefe Sonatas with 
great fatisfa€tion. The paffages, gene- 
rally peaking, are bold and maiterly, and 
inter{perfed with elegancies which, whil& 
they produce a happier relief, exprefs the 
polifhed tafte of the compofer. The firft 
piece confifts of four movements; and 
opens with a Largo Maeftofo in commos 
time, poffefling a confiderable degree of 
dignity, and which introduces an Allegre 
Moderato, at once {pirited and fcientific. 
The third movement, in 2 (Larghetto} 
#8 in the cantibile ftyle, enlivened by 2 
moving bafs, flows with great fmooth- 
mefs, and is fucceeded by a Rondo, which, 
though not triking in ats fubjeét, is con- 
duéted with much fkill, and forms a re- 
fpectable -<clofe te the Sonata. The fe- 
cond piece compriles three movements ; 
the firft of which, in-common time, Al- 
legro Moderato, is fprightly and vigo- 
sous, and introduces a Romance (Larg- 
Ahetto) which is particularly {weet in. its 
melody, and elegant in its movements ; 
while the third movement, an Allemanda 
(Allegretto) contains many brilliant ideas, 
and is engaging throughout. ‘The third 
picce is in three movements, and both 
opens and proceeds with much fire of 
conception; but awe muft beg to point 
out the theoretical impropriety of rifing 
after a feventh, as occurs tn palling from 
the feventh bar to the eighth. The fe- 
cond movement is an elegant Larghetto 
in 3, and Icads to a Rondo im 2 ( Allegro} 
which is animating in its fubjeét, and 
forms a pleafing conclufion to the work. 
A‘Soleétion of the moft admired Country 
Dances, Reels, Strathfpeys, &c. with their 
proper figures, arranged for the Harp, Piane 
Forte, and Violin, by 7. Harbour. 3s. 
Alfo, a Second Seleftion, by the fame Auther, 
dedicated to the Ladies and Gentlemen of 
the Croydon Affembly, by W. W. Fences. 2s. 
Longman and Broderip. 
Thefe Seleétions do credit tothe fancy 
of the campiler. Ihe pieces are 10 
chofen, as to excite, by their cheerful art- 
traction, all that pleafurable hilarity for 
which public ailemblies are frequented. 
There are very few cf them that are mot 
engaging ; and, by their baffes, well cal~ 
culated to pleafe, on the piano forte.
