The firft volume.of this judicioyfly fe- 
le€ted work now lies before us. Of the 
value of the publication our readers will 
in a confiderable degree be enabled to 
judge, when we inform them, that the con- 
tents, which occupy more than two hun- 
dred pages, are derived from matters of 
no lefs.eminence and celebrity than Dr. 
Arne, Dr. Howard, Vento, Purcell, Bach, 
Travers, Mr. Boyce,’ Dr. Arnold, Sac- 
-ehini, Sarti, Galluppi, Giordani, Hayden, 
. Dr. Haydn, Galliard, Rauzzini, Battif-. 
hill, Linley, Shield, Baildon, Dr. Green, 
Jackfon of Exeter, Paifiella and Mozart. 
Mr. Webbe in the department he has taken 
of harmonifing fome of the moft popular 
airs, has acquitted himfelf with his ufual 
ability ; and the whole {election, together 
with the truly beautiful frontifpiece, re- 
fects confiderable credit on Mr. Hyde’s 
tafte and judgment. 
The favourite Overture in the Nez Pantomime 
called The Seafons, performed at the Royal Cir- 
cus, compofed by J. Sanderfon. 2s. 
Longman, Clementi, and Co. 
This overture contains three move- 
ments; the firft of which is in common 
time, allegro maeffofo ; the fecond in com- 
mon time, largo affettuofo; and the third 
in = allegro moderato. The ~ feveral 
movements contraft each other with much 
force of effeét, and evince the orcheftral 
knowledge of the compofer. The open- 
ing is novel and fpirited, the fucceeding 
Scotch air is mof happily introduced, and 
the jig forms.a ftrikingly pleafing con- 
clufion.

This fong is printed in fcore, tor a firt

sof {weetnefs, and the bafs and accompa-

Ad Sailor’s Soul; or, Sympathetic Fred: An ad- 
mired Nautical Song (defcriptive of the Valour 
and Feeling of a Britifb Tar). Sung by Mr. 
Incledon. Written by Mr. S. Larkin. Com- 
‘pofed by the late Mr. Moulds. 1s. 
; Thomp fone 
The melody of ‘¢ A Sailor’s Soul” is 
characteriftic. Wedonot, it is true, dif- 
cover in it ‘any thing very novel; but the 
paffages, fuch as they are, run eafily into 
each other, and form an agreeable whole. - 
Bleak blows the Wind; a celebrated Song. The 
Melody compofed by Mr. Betts, and fung by 
» him at.the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. 1s. 
Lhompfone 
Though there are evident marks in this 
fong of the want of habit and experience 
in vocal compofition, yet many. of the 
ideas are juft and expreffive, and the gene- 
ral effect is good.” The opening paflages 
both of the firt% and fecond movement are 
happily conceived, and expreflion (the foul 
of mufic) is no where abfolutely neglected. 
The bafs is not always the beft that might 
have been chofen, neither does it expofe — 
any glaring ignorance of the laws of har- 
mony. | 
A favourite March and Rondo fer the Piano~ 
forte, with Accompaniments for a Guittary 
Tambourine, and Triangle (ad libitum). Com= 
pofed by T. Bolton. 2s. 6d. 
; Goulding, Phipps, and D’ Almaime.’ 
. We find a few tolerable paflages in this 
march; but-Mr. Bolton does not appear 
to know that there 1s: fuch a thing in mufic 
as rythm. In each of the two parts into 
which the compofition 1s divided, our ears 
are fhocked with an eleventh bar. On 
what principle of harmonic’ contruction 
this compofer (a very young one, we pre- 
furie) omits the fundamental note in the 
chord immediately preceding the clofing 
chord, we know not; we are only certain 
that it could not be on account. of im- 
proving the effect. 
Tunocence; a favourite Song as fung at the No= |
