REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. - 
%* Tricks upon Travellers ;’’ a Comic Opera; 
performed wiih universal applause at the English 
Opera, Lycaum Theairee Whiten by Sir 
James Bland Burgess, bart. The Music com- 
posed by W. Reeve. 8s. 
Pr eXHE music of this opera is written in 
ee style consonant to the general cast of 
the piece, and. exhibits much of that faci- 
lity in familiar stage composition for which 
Mr. Reeves’s talents have so long been 
distinguished Of the overture, we must 
in candor say, that we do not think it 
deserves to be ranked with some others 
from the same composer; but the vocal 
part of the publication, with some few 
exceptions, are so much above mediocrity 
in the points of taste, humour, and on- 
zinality, as to entitle it to our warm com- 
mendation. The first song, “O had I 
a Lover served me so,” sung by Miss 
Kelly; and “ Love is all Folly,” sung by 
Mr. Phillips, are particularly worthy of 
our notice for their spirit and tenderness, 
and will not fail to recommend the work 
to the atteation of the lovers of operatcal 
music. 
Ellen’s Song, ** Ave Maria ;’? the Poetry from the 
popular Base of The Lady of the Lake, writ- 
ten by Walter Scott, esq. Composed and 
Inscribed to the Countess of Powts, by Dr. 
Clarke, of Cambridge. 3s. 
In this Hymn to the Virgin, Dr. Clarke 
has displayed considerable powers of fan- 
cy, a clear conception of his author, and 
much happiness of method. The whole 
hymn consists of twenty-four lines, which 
Dr. C. has disposed into four verses, con- 
cluding each with a chorus, in four parts, 
to the words ‘* Ave Maria.” 
is varied in its melody agreeably to the 
sentiment to be expressed, and the burden 
has a forceful and happy effect. 
The Minuetto all? Fandango; danced by Miss. 
Lupino and Mr. Noble, in the Grand ballet of 
the Castilian Minstrel, also in ihe favourite 
Spanish Diveriisement, at the English Opera. 
Composed by H. R. Bishop, esq. 
Mr, Bishop has arranged this fundango 
asarondo. The theme is highly ciedita- 
bie to his fancy, and the adventitious 
matter is at once analogous and pleasing. 
The whole forms a rondo of considerable 
merit and attraction.

ed in the style of Pleyel, and bespeaks the 
taste and judgment of a real master.

Duet. Composed by H. Denman. 4s. ; 
This duet is written in a style much_ 
above the productions of every day. The.

part well combined. Some of the points, 
are very ingenious, and the effect of the 
tout ensemble extremely honorable to the.

dedicated to Miss M. A. Clementson, by Ns >

With this march we are greatly pleased. . 
The style is bold and animated, and the, 
digressive passages are free and brilliant. 
The movement with which the .publica- - 
tion concludes (and which should. have 
been noticed in the title-page) is lively 
and pleasing, and closes the composition : 
with great advantage of effect. ; :
