“REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
Twelve Anthems in Score 5 compofed and dedicated 
to the Reverend the Majlers and Fellows of 
Trinity and St. Fobws Colleres, Cambridge, 
by ‘Joba Clarke, E,g. Mus. Doc. 31.5. 
N our laft Number, we made our reports 
of the merits of the fecond volume of this 
excellent and ufeful work. Thé character 
of the prefent volume, (the third) which 
completes the publication, fo fer partakes 
of that of the firft and fcecond in the grand 
features of happy fancy and legitimate {ei- 
ence, atid insen‘ous contrivance, asto pre- 
clude the neceffity of our treating it at any 
great length. It is, indeed, fufficient, 
perhaps, to fay that its contents perfectly 
correfpond with the expettations excited 
by the former parts of the work, aad brings 
it to a conclufion with that anifcrm excel- 
lence, which evinces a great command of 
the creative powers, and places Dr. Clarke 
in the firit rank of eccieliattical compolers. 
Number Six (to be continued) of Voluntaries for 
the Orgag; compofed by Samuel Wefley, E/q. 
2S. 
Ir is with particular pleafure that we 
find Mr. Samuci Wefley encouraged to 
proceed with this excellent and uietul fe- 
ries of church compolition. The prefent 
piece confifts of qn intreduSiory move- 
ment, (Largo ¢ maeflofo) in which the 
compofer has difplayea much of his great 
ftock of icience and ingenious turn of 
thought ; and a kind of finger movement 
intermixed with a diftin&, yet analagous 
melody, from which refults a novel and

happy effet. The refponfes, or points, 
are every where introduced and fuitained 
in a mafterly ftyle ; and the compefition is 
in every refpeét worthy uf the great and 
long acknowledged talents from which it 
emanates.

The firtt or thefe three compofitions is, 
firidtly fpeaking, a glee 3 being regularly 
fet for four voices ; two trebles, a tenor, 
and a bafs. The fecond commences asa 
duet, and concludes in trio; and the 
hemn is againregularly fet for four voicess 
two trebles, a tenor, and abafs. Suchare 
the forms of the three pieces: of the chief 
points of their merits, we are enabled to 
{peak in the handfumeft terms. The-me- 
Jodies are at cnce fuitably and pleafingly 
conceived, and the paris are arrangedina

kiowiedge, as well as a good general 
judement in the firitof mufical requifites,
