8* Early Days, bow fair and fleeting!” a fa~ 
wourite Song, sung by Mrs. Ashe at the Ha~ 
mover-square Concerts. Composed by Sir F. 
Ad. Stevenson, Mus. Doe. 1s. 
This song, though certainly not one of 
Sur John Stevenson’s best productions, 
is so far above mediocrity in the requisites 
of melody, and taste as to Justify our ge- 
neral commendation: and we do not 
doubt but those who are not of very fas- 
tidious judgment will listen toit with plea- 
sure, 
Dr. Haydr’s celebrated Song and Chorus (A new 
created World), from bis Oratorio of the Cre- 
ation. Adapted for the Piano-forte by F. 
Mazzinghi, Es7. 2s 6d. 
Mr. Mazzinghii has arranged this song 
and chorus ina istyle that does creditto his 
judgment and ingenuity. His selection 
of all the pornts, and his manner of occa~ 
sionally filling up the harmony, demon- 
strate a perfect knowledge of his author, 
and a familiarity with the art of harmo- 
nization. 
44 Hornpipe, arranged as a Rondo for the Piano- 
forte. Composcd and inseribed to Miss 
MM ‘Carthy, of Cork, by F. W. Holder, Mus. 
Bac. Oxon. 2s. 
This rondo, in which Mr. Holder has 
introduced dhe favourite air of * My na- 
tive Land [ bade adieu,” comprizes a 
great variety of pleasing and well-con- 
structed passages; and the adventitious 
matter blends so well with the original 
materials as to produce a unity of ‘cha- 
racter and effect highly creditable to 
the composer's skill and fancy. 
*© Clear shines the Sky, a Canaonett.  In- 
scribed to Miss Peers, by William Crotch, Mus. 
Dec. 1s. 64 
This canzonett is distinguished by some 
masterly points. The subject of the me- 
lody is tastefully nmagined, the digressions 
are judicious, and the accompaniment is 
elegant. Where Dr. Crotch has anned 
at expression, he has not been unsuccess- 
ful, and his 6ass almost throughout be- 
speaks the real musician. 
©© On Snowdaon’s lofty Brow I rov’d,” anew 
Song, sung by Mrs. Biand at Vourball Gar- 
dens. Composed by Ff, Parry. 15. 6d. 
In speaking favourably of this ballad, 
we shall only coincide with the expressed 
opinion of the frequenters of Vauxhall 
Gardens, where it has been received with 
unbounded applause. The melody is 
pleasing, perfectly national; and from its 
Review of New Musical Publications 
admiration.

simplicity will be found easily attainable 
by the lovers of vocal music. 
© Adieu, my Fair,” a favounte Song sung by 
Mr. Incledon in bis New Entertainment, 
called a Voyage to India. Composed by F. 
Mazzinghi, Esq. 1s. 6d. 
This air, the symphonies and accom- 
panmment of which are conceived with 
much taste, is of a smooth and pleasant 
cast, and calculated to please both a com- 
mon and cultivated audience. The ideas, 
though not strikingly novel, are gracefully 
expressed, and the whole leaves on the 
ear an agreeable and imteresting impres- 
sion. 
“* Wy Love, she’s but a Lossie yet,” a favou- 
rite Scotch Air. . Arranged wtb Variations 
for the Piao forte, and dedicated to Miss 
Head, by T. Powell. 4s. 
Mr. Powell has arranged this old and 
popular air with considerable skill and 
fancy. ‘The ear of the juvenile pertormer 
will not fail to be pleased with the style 
of the yariauons; nor will they be prac- 
tused without improvement to the finger. 
6 Fie, Lubin, Fie!” a new Song, sung by Mrs. 
Bland at Vauxhall Gardens. Composed by 
Mr..G. Nicks. 1s. Gd. 
We find in this little ballad much cha- 
racter and attraction. The air is ree 
markably easy and natural, and well ex- 
presses the sense of the words. With the 
symphonies we are much pleased, but re- 
gret that Mr. Nicks did not think proper 
to accompany his melody with a piano- 
forte part of which advantage we deem it 
well worthy. 
‘¢ Fe hears me not,” a Ballad. The Poetry by 
ZF. L. Lewes, Esq Liverpool. Composed by 
Dr. “fobn Clarke, of Cambridge. 15. 
This affecting little ballad is set with so 
much interest and pathos as to excite our 
‘The sentimens of the words 
has been consulted in a natural and 
charming continuity of passages: and with 
the general effect every judicious auditor 
will doubtless be much pleased. 
“Come, ye happy Village Maids,”* a favourite 
ong, With an Acconipaniment for the Piano- 
forte. Composed ky W. Slopp. 
This air, though not of the very first or- 
der, is by no means destitute of merit. 
The passages flow into each other with an 
easy and natural effect, and the bass 1s 
chosen with tolerable judgment and pro~ 
priety.
