Number I. A favourite Overture for the Piano- 
forte, with an Accompaniment for a Violin ad 
libitum, Compofed by F. Kotzavara, Auxthor 
of the ** Battle of Prague.’? 
In this overture, which comprizes three 
movements, we find many novel and 
ftriking ideas. The opening movement 
is bold and fpirited ; the fecond, fmooth 
and graceful ; and the third, lively and 
animating. Taken in the aggregate, it 
forms an excellent exercife forthe inftru- 
ment to which it is here adapted, and 
merits our recommendation. 
** High ver the Grave where Mary flecps,” a 
favourite Ballad. The Poetry by Mr. Ran- 
nie. The Mufic compofed by ‘fobn Rofs, Efq. 
A foft pleafing melancholy runs through | 
this air, and greatly interefts the fenfible 
¢ar. The accompaniment is conceived 
with taite, and the bafs is chofen with 
a judgment highly creditable to the com- 
poler. The words, which confift of fix- 
teen lines, convey fome tender ideas in 
fmooth and eafy verfification, and are in 
the true ftyle of lyric poetry. 
The ** Sea Boy's Gratitude,” a favourite Song, 
jung with univerfal Applaufe by Mr. Incie- : 
don, in his New Entertainment called ‘* Vae 
riety.” CGompofed by F. Maxzinghi, Efg. 
The ‘Sea Boy’s Gratitude’? is ex- 
prefled in pleafing and natural ftrains. 
Mr, Mazzinghi has written to the fitu- 
ation and character before him, and 
{trongly conveyed the fentiment of the 
author. The fong confifts of two verfes, 
to which the mufic, with fome trifling 
Variation, is repeated. 
#¢ Tho? formed in the humble Cot,” a favourite 
Song fung by Mrs. Bland, in the Opera of the 
Red-Crojs Knight. Compofed by T. Attwood. 
This is a pleafing familiar air. The 
paflages, though not particularly novel

or ftriking, are every where agreeable, 
and arife out of each other with nature 
and propriety. The accompaniment, 
which is fometimes formed from, the me- 
lody, and is fometimes in arpeggio, is ad- 
jufted with judgment, and greatly contri-« 
butes to the general effect. 
Two cheerful and two ferious Glees, compofed by 
¥. Marfby Efy. 
In the two firft of thefe glees we find 
a good deal of that humour proper to the 
catch, and given in a combination of parts 
which evince confiderable acquaintance 
with the general laws of harmony. The 
ferious glee, or ‘‘ Patriot’s Prayer,”” is 
alfo adjufted with an addrefs befpeaking 
confiderable experience in this fpecies of 
compofition, They are all written for 
three voices, and may be fung by a bafs 
and two tenors; a bafs, tenor, and coune 
ter; or a bafs, tenor, and treble. 
66 Darling Sue,” a favourite Song, fung with 
univerfal Applaufe by Mr. Incledon, in his 
New Entertainment called ‘* Variety.” The 
Words by T. Dibdin. The Mufic compofed by 
Fobn Dovey. 
«¢ Darling Sue’’ is not altogether with- 
out attractions; but that they are fufh- 
cient to juftify her title, we cannot fay— 
In a word, the melody, though broad 
and fimple, wants that originality and 
charaéer which form the chief merit of 
fongs of this familiar defcription. 
© The Negro Mother,” a Ballad fet to Muficy 
with an Accompaniment for the Piano-fortey 
by Fobn Rofs, Efg. 
Mr. Rofs, the natural beauty of whofe 
melody has fo often excited our favour- 
able notice, has acquitted himfelf with 
much tafte in the ** Negro Mother.”’— 
The paffages flow with eafe, and the ex- 
preffion is every where pathetic and juit,
