Six Original German Waltzes for the piano-forte, 
“with an accompaniment for a triangle and 
ladies tamburino, dedicated to the Princefs of 
Wales, by James Sanderfon. 5s. 
_ Thompfon. 
Mr. Sanderfon has employed his ima- 
gination in this fafhionable fpecies of 
compolition with much fuccefs. Confi- 
dering the invariable metre to which fuch 
a work neceffarily confines the fancy of 
the compofer, the melodies are confider- 
ably variegated, and afford to each other 
more relief than we generally find in fuch 
a colleStion. The triangle and tambu-_ 
rino are judiciouily employed, and difplay 
much of that knowledge of inftrumental 
combination which the compofer is fo 
well known to poflefs. 
No. I. of the Ladies’ Elegant Companion, con 
Sifting of a new fong, with a harp accompani- 
ment, a duet for two-woices, and a ladies? 
glee. Each Number 3s. 
Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaine. 
The firft article’ in this engaging col- 
leftion is a feng called, ‘* The Rofe on the 
Heath,’ compoted by the late J. Danby, 
the merit of which renders it worthy of 
its ingenious author. ‘The duet, the 
words of which are from Peter Pin- 
dar, is by Mazzinghi. The melody is 
pleafing and natural, and the parts har- 
monize with fcience and effect. The la- 
dies’ glee is from the pen of Danby, and 
in every refpect characteriftic of his lively - 
_ and agreeable ftyle of compofition. The 
contents of the fecond Number of this ju- 
dicious aflemblage of vocal harmony we 
fhail notice in cur next. 
The Wifh, a canzonet, compofed by J. Am- 
brofe. Is. Riley. 
With the prefent effort of this dapiots 
ing compofer weare much {atisfied. ‘¢ The 
With” is comprized in two movements ; 
the firft of which is in 2-4ths azdante, 
and poffeffes many engaging and novel 
pafflages. The fecond movement is in 
cominon time, and forms a ftrikingly 
pleafing contraft to the firft. The arpeg- 
g?0 accompaniment, with which it com- 
mences, heightens the effect of the melody; 
and, while the introduétion of the bells is 
creditable to the yudgment of the author, 
the manner in which he has executed the 
idea evinces much fweetnels of fancy. 
A novel effeét is deduced trom an old re- 
fort, and the monotonous jingle of the 
common place changes ingenioully avoided.

written in compliment to Captain Mort- 
Jock, on his brave conteft with two 
French luggers, is fet by Mr. Sanderfon 
in a bold and matfterly ftyle. ‘The melody 
is pertectly in character with the fubject 
of the words, and exhibits the lively and 
spirited conception of this ingenious com- 
pofer.

<< Se ne men fouci- pas” poflefleg a 
pleafine caft of inelody; and the parts, 
though inartificially combined, move 
with tolerable eafe and confonance. We 
are forry to have to obferve that the bafs 
is frequently ill chofen, and in more 
places than one exhibits the folecifm of 
two confecutive fifths in the fame direction. 
God fave the King, and Rule Britannia, ar- 
_ ranged for a Miltary Band, by J. Jouve. 1s. 
Rolfe. 
Mr. Jouve has fcored thefe popular 
airs for clarinets, flutes, horns, bafloons, 
a ferpent, a cimbal, and the great drum. 
The fcales and charaéters of thefe mili-— 
tary inftruments have been well confulted, 
and the parts, as we here find them dif- 
pofed, are calculated to produce. a truly 
martial effect. 
The Chriftian’s glorious Triumph, Pope’s cele- 
brated Ode, the dying Chriftian to his Soul. 
Set to mufic for a fingle vo.ce and piano-forte, 
by J. Marth. 1s. 6d. Rolfte 
This fine ode of Pope has frecquently 
exercifed the talents of our harmonic 
countrymen, but has always proved an 
arduous undertaking. ‘The prefent at- 
tempt, however, though not equal to the 
effort of Jackfon, of Exeter, on the fame 
fubjet, is refpeétable, and gives the 
fenfe of the author with confiderable force 
God fave the King, with variations, com- 
pofed and infcribed to Mifs Morrell, by Joteph 
Major. 2s. Rolfe. 
Mr. Major has difplayed much: tafte 
and ingenuity in thefe variations. It is 
no {mall praife to compare them with 
thofe of Bach, which do fo much credit 
to the abilities of that celebrated mafter. 
The theme is cloiely adhered to, and the 
pafflages lie well under the finger, while 
the effect gradually rifes. upon the ear, 
and evinces much conception and judg- 
ment. ;
