ceived ; and concludes each verfe with an 
engaging and firiking effect. 
A New Scotch Overture for the Piano-forte, as 
performed, with univerfal applaufe, at the 
Theatre Royal, Dublin. Compofed by T. Cooke. 
25. 
This overture confifts of two move- 
ments, fo confruéted as to comprife more 
variety and dramatic effect than we gene- 
rally find in detached compofitions of this 
fpecies. In'the firft movement the ftyle ju- 
dicioufly changes from maeffofo to an af- 
Jettuozo; and, the fecond, which opens 
with the popular melody of Sir David 
Hunter Blair, difplays a lively and ani-_ 
mated fancy, as well as confiderable tafte 
and judgment. 
‘6 Faint Heart ne’er won a Maiden fair.” Sung 
by Mrs Bland, at Vauxball Gardens, Com- 
pofed by F. Hook, Efg. 
This pleafing little fong is publifhed in 
fore, for flutes, violins, horns, a tenor 
‘and bafs. The air is throughout eafy, 
tenfe, and natural, while the accompani- 
New Als of the Britijh Legiflatures 
05 
ments difplay that knowledge of a band, 
and judgment in effe&t,- for which Mr. 
Hook’s orcheftral compofitions have al- 
ways been admired. 
‘< Pretty Poll of Dover.’ A faveurite Song, 
jung by Mr. Smith, ot Vauxhall Gardens. 
Compofed by Mr. T. Welfo. 1s. 
‘¢ Pretty Poll of Dover’’ is one of thofe 
pleafant, familiar ballads which not only 
cannot fail to engage the common ear, 
but which are alfo calculated to gratify 
thofe of cuitivated tafte. The melody is 
fimple, yet not unpolifhed, and fanétions 
our decided approbation. 
The Songs, Duett and Trio,in the Fair 
‘Fugitives, by Dr. Bufby, are publithed 
feparately by Clementi and Co. The fa- 
miliar yet elegant and claffical ftyle in 
which they are conceived will {peak their 
author to every judge of fine vocal com- 
pofition ; and, we doubt not, prove an at- 
traction with the mufical public, commen- 
furate to the Doétor’s acknowledged ta- 
lents, and {cience,
