4 srand March, compofed ard dedicated to Col. 
~~ Ackers of the Loyal Manchefter and Salford 
Volunteers, by T. Haigh. 1s. Préfton. 
This march takes a re{pectable rank 
among the numerous modern productions 
ef this kind. It poffelies fome novelty; 
with marks of a Vigorous imagination ; 
and if performed by a band, would be 
found to produce an effect truly military.

‘Fhis air is not without merit: it pof- 
fefles expreflion, and the accompaniment 
am the fecond movement ftrengthens the 
general effeét 5 but it tails in originality, 
and wants that delien and fcientiite deco- 
rum which are always difcoverable in the 
produétions of a real mafter.

Bean's Cave, as performed at the Royal Ci- 
cus, compofed by }. Sanderfon. 28. Riley. 
_ ‘Mr. Sanperson has difplayed much 
novelty and variety of fancy in this over- 
ture. The firit movement which, per- 
haps, would bear cutling, opens with 
fpirit, and is conducted in a mafterly 
ftyle ; the remaining four are ably con- 
trafted, and by fupporting the national 
eharaéter of the highland mufe, antici- 
pate the {cenery of the piece. 
€onfcious Tinocence, a ballad, compofed, with an 
accompaniment for the piano-forte or harp, by 
M. Camidge. Is. reficn. 
Some of the paffages im this ballad are 
pleafing ; but they ere defective in Origi- 
nality, and in connection. The intro- 
dugtory fymphony is fanciful, and the 
harp accompaniment forms a coniiderable 
embellifhment to the meledy-.

Bland iw the Stranger, «written by Mr. Gra- 
ham ; the mujfic by Mr. Suett. 1s. Preflon. 
We are forry we cannot augur that this 
fong will become as great a favourite 
with the public, as that to which it forms 
arefponie. The air, if the vocal part 
ef the .compofition cau be faid’ to merit 
fach an appellation, is meagre and in- 
expreffive: its beft paflage is borrowed 5 
the firft {ymphony is one bar fhort of its 
due meature, and the bafs is frequently 
ill chofen.

«« Croppies lie down,’’-as arranged

which are exhibited much tafie and pro-. 
feffional learning. ! 
‘© Love in Marcella’s Eyes,” a fone; the fub- 
je taken from Handel's eleventh concerto. 
Se Longman and Brodcrip. 
The mufic of “ Love in Marcella’s 
Eyes” is partly from Handel, and partly 
new. The fele€ted bars apply to the 
fenfe of the words, and give (hem a happy 
and ftriking effet ; but the novel part of 
the melody, though not altogether un- 
pleafing, nor defticute of expreifion, 1s 
{omewhat crude and unmetrical, and evi- 
dently the production of a fyro in the 
harmonic feience. The author has te 
learn that a fyzcopation like that which he 
has employed in the third line of the 
fecond page, requires to be marked by 
intervening notes in the bafs, or the ac- 
companiments ; that when notes eccentric 
to the dey are introduced, as in the fecond 
and fourth lines of the fecond page, it is 
by no means indifferent whether they be 
confidered as a flat to the half-tone above, 
or a fharp to the half-tone below ; and 
that by fuch a divifion of the bar as is 
given in the laft line of the third page, 
to the words ‘* o’er her fhowy breait,” 
the accent is rendered falfe, and unintel- 
ligible. ‘Thele remarks, however, are 
not meant to difcourage this young com- 
pofer (for young we fuppofe him to be), 
but to enable him to avoid fuch errors in 
his future efforts, and to give’a fairer dif- 
play of thofe talents which we are confi-

Eritifp Bleed, a national fong, by the author of 
the Tipling Deities. 15. Goulding . 
‘The mufic applied to the words of this 
fong is from a fine old méledy, and judi- 
ccioufly feleted. The fimple boldnefs of 
its ftyle perfe&tly accords with the poet's, 
fentiment, and fills the mind with that 
martial dignity which is the true con- 
comitant of patriotic courage. 
“ohn Bull, a national cantata. 18. Goulding, 
John Bull is a cantata, made up of fome 
good recitatives, which are new, and the 
two old airs of “* Roaft Beef,” and 
‘¢ Britons ftrike Home.’? The ‘plan of 
the whole is to extol that liberty of which 
the Englifh fo proudly boaft, and to 
ridicule the conftitution which at length 
a neighbouring nation enjoys. Of the 
compiled part of the publication, the 
mufical community have long fixed their 
opinion; and of the words we can only 
fay that they are replete with that com- 
mon-place balderdafh which too many of 
our countrymen are in the habit of level-
