of thofe airs which pleafingly arrefts the 
_ attention, and leaves the ear 
imprefled with its charaéter. Befides the 
Piana-Forte part, which is given with it, 
#t is printed in fcore, Viz. for flutes, 
oboes, viclin, and viola, for the conve- 
nience of concerts ; and we do not doubt 
but it will be very generally intro- 
duced. < 
** The Cuckoo,” with an Accompaniment for 
the Piano-Forte, or Pedal Harp, written and 
compared by Margaret C-ffon. 1s. | Gouldin. 
Much ingenuity and fweetnefs of 
fancy prevail in this little vocal produc- 
tion. ‘The melody is fo original and en- 
g2ging, and the accompaniment and bafs 
fo judicionfly feleéted, that we hope Mifs 
Caffon will be encouraged by her prefent 
fuccefs to the frequent exercife of her 
talents in compofitions of this defcrip- 
tion. ; 
** Poor Emma’s Cot; a Ballad, written iby 
T. R. Ingram. The mufic compojed by 
C. Drifcel. 1s, Longman and Brederip. 
“ Poor Emnia’s Cot,” is one of thofe 
common-place produétions in which we 
look in vain for novelty of melody, or 
diftinguifhed fiamp of character. 
“ To fing of Love’s Paflien, I’m called by my 
-Fair ;” a Ballad, written in Germany, and 
purpefely corpofed by Dr. Haydn. as. “Ene 
graved by Riley, and published by G ulding. 
In cur notice of this beautiful little 
eompofition of Dr. Haydn’s, in our lat 
Number, we erroneoufly ftated that it 
was pubufhed by Riley inftead of Gould- 
ing, an error which, in juftice to the 
pubhiiker, we now gladly correét. 
Six Songs for the Piano-Forte, compofed and 
dedicated to William Jolliffe, Ef. M.P. by 
Le Chev. de Colville. 3s. Wornoum. 
Thefe Songs, by the Chev. de Colville, 
are of various degrees of merit ; we find 
“fome of them much beneath, others con- 
fiderably above, the general rank of vo- 
eal produétions. The firfi fong, ‘¢ Love 
in all his Shapes is Love,” is extremely 
pleafing and exprefiive ; but the author 
of the words, by giving fingle rhimes to 
one verfe and double rhimes to another, 
has committed: an error too common 
with lyric poets, and which always de- 
ranges the melody. The feccnd fong, 
*“ Go, Zephyr, on thy fportive Wing,” 
is one of the fet on which we cannot be- 
ftow our applaufe. The melody is bar- 
ren and inexpreffive, and the bats felected 
without that judgment which prevails 
‘in the bafs of the firt fong. “ The 
Nightingale’ is, in fome refpecis, cre-

ditable to the’ compofer, in others, 
a difgrace to his talents. The air is, in 
itfelf, happily conceived, and admirably 
adapted to the fubje@ of the words; but 
the accent is almott conftantly falfe ; and 
errors occur in,the confiruétion of the 
bafs which betray. ignorance or negli- 
ence. ‘ ‘The fourth fong, “‘ Peggy,’ 
is imple and agreeable in its fiyle, but 
is equally falfe in its accent with the 
preceding fong. ‘* Theancient Moufe”’ 
is a puerile produétion ; but the fixth 
forg, or, * Thirfty Earth,” though de- 
ficient in fome material particulars, is 
diftinguifhed by rauch fpirit of concep- 
tion, and befpeaks a genius which only 
wants farther cultivation and’ experi- 
ence. 
Sixteen Selec Military Pieces, for two Clari- 
nets, two French-horns, and two Bafloons ; 
dedicated to Capt. Bennet, the Officers and 
Company of Cinque-Port Voluntcess ; Fa- 
verfham, by Samuel Porter, of his Majefty’s 
Band, 55.. : Goulding. 
Thefe military pieces confit of flow 
marches, quick marches, minuets, and 
quick fteps. For the moft part they pof- 
felis much air and meaning. The cha- 
racters of the inftruments ter which they 
are exprefsly compoted, are fuccefsfully 
attended to, and the parts combine judi- 
ciouily. 
Riley’s ColieCtion of Duets for two German 
Flutes, felected from the Works of the mof 
favourite Authors, No.1. 4s. 6d. 
The firft number of this work, which 
is to be comprifed in twenty-numbers, 
contains two duets. .‘Thefe pieces are 
not cnly plteahny in ‘themfelyes, but lay - 
them worthy of the notice of young : 
practitioners on the flute. : 
Three Sonnets for the Piano- Forte, with an Ac- 
cempaniment for the Violin-obligato ; com- 
pofed, and dedicated, by permiffion, to Mifs 
Yorke, by High. Skeats. 7s. 64. - Gawler. 
We are forry, after a careful infpec- 
tion of thefe fonatas, not to be able to 
recommend them more ftrongly to the 
ttention of the public. We find inthem 
but a fcanty portion of theoretical me- 
tit; nothing new in the turn of the paf- 
fages, and many bars’ which are very 
unaccommodating to the hand. They 
contain three movements each; and are 
conftruéted upon the plan of the over- 
tures of Bach and Abel: the firft move 
ment being a Bravura, the fecond an An- 
dante, or Larghetto, and the third an 
Allegro,
