Cornwallis’s March,” and‘‘Donna Bella,” 
each of which is worked into so pleasing 
and improving an exercise for the juve- 
‘nile practitioner, as to give proof of Mr. 
Woelf’s taste and judgment in produc- 
tions of this easy and familiar cast. 
Number 6 of a Collection in Seore of Symphonies, 
by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Each 
Number 8s. , 
This work, the present number of 
whichcontains a fine symphony of Haydn, 
continues to be conducted in the 
stvle of elegance and accuracy, of which 
the earlier numbers were specimens, and 
dloes much credit to the taste and Jibe- 
rality of Messrs. Cianchettini and Sperati. 
&< Bless God, O my Soul,” The Hundred and 
Fourth Psalm 3 of anew Version, set to Music, 
and inscribed to the Rev, William Vincent, 
D.D. Dean of Westminster, by F. 8. Smith, 
Organist, and Master of the Children, and 
Gentleman of his Majesty's Chapel Royal. 
9s. Gd. 
We find in this Hymn (for so we think 
proper to style it,) much devotional 
expression, and an interesting variety of 
melody and harmonic combination, The 
running bass at the verse beginning with 
“As rapid as fire,” is masterly and ap- 
propriate; and the assumption of the 
key of G. at the sixth verse affords a 
pleasing relief to the ear. 
6s T have a little heart,’ a Ballad composed for 
and sung by Miss Rundles, at her Concerts, at 
Balls, and dedicated to the Countess of Bel- 
more, by G. Gray. 1s, 
This song, though not distinguished by 
any remarkable feature of excellence, is 
by no means destitute of merit; the me- 
lody is smooth and easy, and the expres- 
sion, appropriate and natural. : 
Why does azure deck the sky? A Song. Com- 
posed by M. Virtue. The Words by T. Moore, 
Esq. 1s. 6d. 
Mr. Virtue has s¢t this song with con- 
siderable taste and expression, The ele- 
gance of the words appears to have been 
felt by the composer ; and the harp ac- 
companiment does credit to his judgment. 
The celebrated Address to England. Written by 
the Marquis Du Fubon, and set to Music 
by Fobn Rass, Esq. of Aberdeen. As. 6d. 
Mr. Ross has given to these words, a 
pathetic and impressive melody. The 
symphonies are tasteful, the accompani- 
ment is eppropriste, the bass 1s well cho- 
zen, and the harmony isjudiciously filled.

©*To the Brook and the Willow,” a faworite Bal- 
lad. Sung by Mrs. Windsor at the Bath Con- 
certs. Composed by Sir F. 4. Stevenson, Mus. 
Doc. 1s, 
This pathetic little ballad, the words 
of which our grandfathers justly admired, 
have not been set by Sir John Stevenson 
without taste : but we are obliged in can- 
dour to say that his melody is deficient in 
plaintiveness ; and that in listening to the 
prettiness of the music, we lose the af= 
fecting pathos of the poetry. 
Four Airs, with Variations, for the Piano. fortes 
Inscribed to the Miss Richards, Belmont, 
Shrewsbury. Composed by T. Tomlins. 5s. 
These Airs, among which we find Mos 
zart’s Life let us cherish,” are pleasant 
easy trifles, and will afford an acceptable 
relief to the more arduous efforts of the 
juvenile practitioner. 
‘¢ Fair Selima,” a favorite Duett, sung by Mrs. 
Billington and Mr. Harrison, at the Wor- 
cester and Chester Festivals, and at the Vocal 
Concerts. Composed and dedicated to Miss 
Robinson, by Dr. Fobn Clarke of Cambridge. 
Qs. 6a. 
We can have the pleasure to announce 
this duett as an elegant and beautiful pro= 
duction, The melody is fancifully con- 
ceived, and the combination is throughs 
out ingenious and masterly. Indeed so 
highly do we think of the music of Fair 
Selima, that, for the credit of the British 
taste, we hope it will have a wide and 
general circulation.
