fefs originality cf air, yet the paffages are 
fo fmooth and conneéted as to produce con- 
fiderable fweetnefs of effect. A kind of 
burthen concludes each repetition of the 
melody, which greatly interefts the ear. 
We muft, however, difapprove of the 
crotchet regularly given to the fir fyllable 
of the word morrew, as by no means ac- 
cording with the natural and habitual ex- 
preffion of the words. 
ST will arife,” an Anthem in four Parts, with 
a SanGius and Kyrie Eleifon. Compofed by F. 
March. 
Thefe pieces are written with confider- 
able ability: The parts are put together 
with an addrefs which befpeaks the habit 
of church compofition ; and the correétnefs 
of the refponfes evinces the fltidy of the 
bef matters in this branch of the fcience. 
The Anthem is fet for two fopranos, a 
tenor, and bafs: and the Kyrie Eleifia for 
a foprano, alto, tenor, and bafs. ‘They 
will be found highly ufeful in country 
choirs. 
Ode to Mufic, by Warton. A Canzonet for four 
Veices, with an Accompaniment for ihe Piano- 
forte. Compofed by F. Marfb. 
We find more melody in this canzonet 
than we generally expect in compofitions 
of four parts. The paflages, for the moft 
part, though not new, are pleafingly con- 
ceived; and the harmonic arrangement 
difplays a knowledge and a facility in this 
Species of vocal mufic, beyond what we 
commonly meet with. The accompani- 
ment is applied with tafte and judgment, 
and is calculated to heighten the general 
effect. 
Air with Variations for the Harp or Piano-forte, 
with additional Keys. Compofed and dedicated 
to Mrs. Vere, by Careline F. Romart. 
The thema of this compofition is pleaf- 
ing and elegant, and the variations, four 
in number, are brilliantly conceived, and 
full of improving execution. The com- 
pofition, though by no means unappro- 
priate for the piano-forte, is however more 
immediately congenial with the character 
and powers of the harp. :

[ June 1,. 
Two Sonatas for the Piano-forte, in which are 
introduced favorite Danifh Airs as the Subjects 
of the Rondos. Compofed by T. H. Eutler. 
We can have the pleafure to foeak of 
thefe fonatas in highly commendatory 
terms. Their ftyle, though familiar, is 
gay and fpirited; and the Danith airs are 
{weet and full of national charafer. Mr. 
Butler, in the digreffive matter of the 
rondos, has been particularly happy in 
adhering to the caf of his fubjects, to 
which he always returns with an addrefs 
which indicates a well-cultivated tafte, 
and maturity of judgment. | 
Hungarian Quick Step, a Military Rondo for the 
Piano-forte, with or without additional Keys. 
Compofed and dedicated to M:fs E. Boyer, by 
Veronica Cianchettiznt. 
We cannot profefs ourfelves to be ftruck 
with the fubject of this rondo. Madame 
Cianchettini has, however, difplayed fo 
much tafte and knowledge of effect in the 
general arrangement of the piece, as to 
have rendered it an attractive as well as 
an improving exercife for piano-forte prac- 
titioners. 
&* Ann of the Valey” A Ballad, with an Ac- 
companiment for the Piano-Forte. Compofed 
W. Bingley. 
_ “© Ann of the Vale,”’ is a paffable trifle, 
in which the compofer has combined with 
fome adroitnefs paffages well known to 
every practifed ear; and has produced an 
effeét which, though no way firiking, is 
fometimes agreeable. The bafs, general- 
ly fpeaking, betrays a very fuperficial 
acquaintance with the rules of harmony, 
and in one place we are fhocked with an 
unprepared feventh to the fixth of the 
key. gon 
6° Come dear Amanda,” a favourite Baliad. 
Compofed hy T. Robinfan, of Dublin. 
The poetry and mufic of this favourite 
fong are admirably matched. A mutual 
rapidity of idea and dulnefs of expreffion 
reconcile the one with the other, and dif- 
play the advantage of confentaneous 
qualifications in the writer and com- 
pefer.
