Fairies on the Twilight Green, a fawourite Son- 
net. Compojed and Inferibed to Mifs Morrell, 
by F. Major. 18. © 
This is a pretty little fong. The me- 
Jody is eafy and artlefs, and the general 
coa'truction is charatteriftic of the words. 
The fymphony is alfonew and pleafing, 
while the bafs is chofen with judgment, 
A favourite flow Air, and a Spanifh quick 
Step. drranged as a Rondo for the Piang- 
forte, by T. H. Butler. xs. 
The two aiys here feledted are contratted 
with judgment. The former is anelezant 
little andantino in EB minor, and the latter 
- is a lively, animating movement in the 
fame key major, the effe& of which is not 
a little heightened by the judicious intro- 
duction. The piece is defigned for the ufe 
of juvenile practitioners, and will by them 
be found highly improving. 
Mary ; a favourite Song. Compofed by Thomas 
Tbompfon, of Newcaftle-upon-Tyne. 15. 
The words of this fong,. which are 
written by Mr. Anderfon, combine with 
fimplicity of tyle,much paffion and pathos. 
Ot the mufic we cannot {peak in terms 
equally favourable. The air is not un- 
pleafing, but it lacks a correfponding ex- 
preffion, and too faintly refleéts the fenti- 
ment of the author. 
Softly jfighs the Conflant Heart. A favourite 
Song, feng by Signora Storace, at the Theatre 
Riayat, Cowent Garden. Compofed by F. Maze 
winght. 15.

Song much tendernefs of fancy. The

is. 
If * Honeft Ben”’ is not among the 
firft fongs of its kind, it is written with 
tolerable flirength and conformity of cha- 
rater; and the mufic, though by no 
means remarkable for its originality, is 
adapted to the fubjcét of the words, while 
the general effeét is above mediocrity. 
Lowely Laughing Nell. Sang by Mr. Dignum, 
at the Concerts of the Nobility. Compafed by 
Thomas Carter. 15. 
By whom(oever the words of this pleaf- 
ing Ballad is written, much credit’ at 
taches both to the authar and compofer. 
The melody is marked by much {weetnefs 
and fimplicity of effeét, and cannot fail 
to delight thofe who are partial to the 
ftrains of nature and fentimear. M 
Variety; a favourite Song, fung by Mr. Ines 
don. Written by T. Dibdin, and campofed by 
FF. Davyy: 2 Ras, faa 
The melody given to this little Song 
has the merit of being analagous to the 
words, and is by no means devoid of talte, 
‘¢ Variety,’” both in its poetry and mufic, | 
is calculated for table amutemenr, and 
will, by its eafe and familiar ty of ityle, 
be fure to pleafe the generality of hearers.
