REVIEW OF THE NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS, 

A Morning and Evening Service, with fix. “ Pretty Littl: Sue” A favourite Song, fun 
i Le > a Ey J UNE 
Anthems in Score, dedicated to the Rev. the 
Maflers and Fellows of Trinity and St. 
Jobn’s Colleges, Cambridge, by their Orga- 
nift, John Clarke, Muff. Doc. Vol. I. 
Ih 5s. Broderip and Wilkinfon. 
ee the apology of the author to his 
fubfcribers and the public, we learn 
that this work fhouid, according to pro- 
mife, have appeared in June laft; the ex- 
cellent contents of the pages, will, however, 
we truit, reconcile them to the delay, and 
be thought to amply compenfate their pa- 
tience. The prefent volume, which is to 
be fucceeded by afecond, comprifes a Te 
Deum, “Fubilate, Magnificat, and Nunc 
Dimittis. The anthems are “ Behold, 
God is my falvation !” werfe. “ O praife 
God in his holinefs !” fudd. “ 'The Lord’s 
Prayer,” full. “ Wherewithal fhall a 
young man,” dvetf. ‘ I am the refur- 
rection and the life,” verfe. And “ Sing 
unto the Lord,” werfe. ‘Taken in the ag- 
gregate, this publication, both, for the 
_ accuracy and richnefs of the harmony, as 
well as the general fweetnefs and occafional 
originality of the melody, is highly ho- 
nourable to the talents and fcience of Dr. 
Clarke. ‘The parts every where /ing well, 
and are commodioufly difpofed for the fe- 
veral voices for which they are written ; 
and the publication will certainly prove 
highiy acceptable to all country choirs, 
and domeftic practitioners of church 
mufic. 
The Mufical Calendar, or Vocal Year, for 
one, tx0>, and three Voices; with an Acq 
companiment for the Piano-Forte, and in= 
troductory Symphonies expreffive of the 
Four Seafons. Dedicated io. her Royal 
Highnefs the princefs Mary, by James 
Fifin. 
This work is a kind of fbepherd’s ca- 
fendar, and forms a mufical comment on 
every month in the year. Moft of the 
melodies are conceived with propriety, 
and evince confiderable freedom of imagi- 
nation. “ Lo, my Fair,” or “ January 3° 
“ All around,” or “ February;” “ Where 
the pearly beams,” or © May; ;” % In the 
difiant fey,” or “ Fuly;” « Ripen'd corn,” 
or ‘ Auguft ;” and “ Bring more turf,” 
or “ December ;” are prominently attrac- 
tive, and poifefs a confiderable degree of 
originality. In the introduétory fymphonies, 
meant to be exprefiive of the four feafons, 
we difcover much ingenious effort at imi- 
tation, though we cannot but obferve that, 
in {training after cbjeéts fo foreign to the 
imitative powers of the art, the compofer 
does not employ his fcience to the greateft 
advantage, nor exhibit his ingenuity in its 
heft poflible light. 
Monrity Mac, No. 67. 
by Mafter Gray.  Compofed by Mr. 
Hook, Is. Bland and Weller. 
This air is printed in full feore, and 
affords us an opportunity of paying due 
attribute to Mr. Hook’s ingenuity in {up- 
plying inftrumental accompaniments. 
The feveral parts are not only modelled to 
he charaéters and powers of the inftrus 
ments for which they are written, but are 
calculated to heighten and enrich the Tee 
nuine effect of the melody, -The manner 
in which the accompaniment is blended 
with the voice part at the words « My 
pretty little Sue,” is particularly happy, 
and gives a new and ftriking zeft to the 
paflage. 
Al Hyman for Chrifimas Day, with a Piane~ 
forte Accompaniment. Compofed by W.P. 
R. Cepe. 1s. 6d. 
Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
We find fome pleafing paflages in this 
little feafonable effort, which confifts of 
three movements, and is calculated, by 
its eafe and fmoothnefs, to amufe the ge- 
nerality of mufical amateurs. We are, 
however, obliged to fay, that we meet 
with fome marks of hafte, both in the 
harmony and accent, which the compofer, . 
we are confident, could have well avoided 
by that attention neceflary to excellence, 
and at all times due to public tafte and 
judgment. 
A Chriflmas Box, containing fix Canzonct~ 
tinos, for one, two, or three Voices, with an 
Accompaniment for the Piano-Forte. Come 
pufed by the late F. Linley. 35. Riley. 
Though thefe canzonettinos are com- 
prehended under the general title of * A 
Chriftmas Box,” they are perfectly de- 
tached, and written on a variety of fub- 
jects. The firft, “ The Seaman’s chil- 
dren,” isa familiar and pleafing trio: The 
fecond, “« The Blind Beggar’s Boy,” is 
alfo a trio of the fame defcription. “ Au~ 
tumn ” is an agreeable glee for three 
voices, and the * Wake ” is very pret- 
tily conceived. But “ The Sailor Boy,” 
we think, has the faireft claim to pre-emi- 
nence, both in point of melody and con- 
trivance. “ Winter ” clofes the collec- 
tion with an agreeable and commendatory 
effect. : 
“ The Devil among the Taylors.” A favoite 
vite Dance, arranged as a Rondo for the 
Piano-Forte. 13. 6d. 
Longman, Clementi, and Co. - 
This dance is arranged with confider- 
able ability, and forms, with the adven- 
titious matter incorporated with it, a nle- 
fuland engaging exercife for the piano- 
forte practitioner. ‘The digreflion in the. 
minor of the griginal key is judicionfly
