REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS, 
Three Overiures for fmall Concerts, or private 
Mufical Parties; compofed by F. Marfh, 
Ejq. 3s. wes 
HESE overtures are written for two 
violins, a German flute, tenor, and 
violoncello, and an under-bafs to be added 
at pleafure, for the piano- forte, contra- bafs, 
or baffoon. Our fedulous perufal of them 
has been repaid by the pleafure of finding 
many beautiful paflages, happy turns of 
idea, and ingenious and {portful mixture 
of the parts. The harmony is in general 
foundly conftructed, and it is very rarely 
that even any of the moft-fecret rules of 
fine compofition are infringed; After this 
general def{cription,the reader will conclude, 
that the combined effect is excellent ; and 
we may add, that that effect will be found ° 
not to bea little aided by the jndicious 
relief of the feveral movements, which are 
eontrafted with tafte and {kill. 
Two Sonatas 3 to whichis added the Union, con- 
Siting of a Scotch, Welfb, and Trifp Air, with 
a grand March for the Piano-forte, with. or. 
without the additional Keys ; compofed, and 
injcribed to Mifs Goulding, by Theodore Smith, 
E/q: 55. 
This is a pleafing and ufeful little pub- 
lication. Mr. Theodore Smith, the re- 
fpectability of whofe talents we have fre- 
quently acknowledged, difcovers itfelf in 
every page, and throws an air of talte and 
beauty over the whole, highly creditable to 
this ingenious compofer. The aflemblage 
of the Scotch, Welhh, and Irifh airs was a 
happy idea: they form a confpicuous and 
highly-pleafing contraft, and place the na- 
ticnal difference of ftyle in a ftriking 
point of view. . 
‘¢ Here in cool Grot, and moffy Cell,” a favou- 
rite Rondeau, compofed by Thomas Thompfon, 
Organifi, Newcaftle-upon-Tyne, ts. 
- We cannot commend Mr. Thompfon’s 
judgment, in feleéting for the exercife of 
his fancy, words fo happily anticipated by 
the harmonious Mufe of the late Earl of 
Mornington. While we think of ‘his 
Lordfhip’s charming glee, it is impoffible 
to lend a favourable ear to the melody 
now before us. This is not, however, 
abfolutely deftitute of merit; but is defi- 
cient in that fweetnefs of charaéter re- 
quired by the ftyle and fubjest of the 
words ; and the digreffions into the zinor 
of the original key is not marked by the 
addrefs of a real mafter.. 
Number I. a Mafquerade Sonata for the Piano= 
forte or Harp ; with an Accompaniment for a 
Violin or German Flute ; compofed, and dedi= 
cated to Mifs Mingay, by James Hook, Eq. 
pass 
This fonata, which confifts of three 
movements, and an iatrodudciion, is cha= 
racterifed by much of that freedom of 
fancy, and tafteful embellifhment, gene- 
rally found in the produétions of this in- 
genious compofer. The fecond. move- 
ment, in the fifth of the original key, 
greatly pleafes us by its elegant and fen- 
timental
