<¢ Allen's Cot,” a Ballad; the Words by Joseph 
Blacket. The Music by a Lady. 15. 6d. 
Though the melody of this little song 
i$ not without its faults, we still trace in 
it the latent germs of genius, and have 
no doubt but that time and study will 
qualify the fair authoress to lay the pub- 
he under considerable obligations to her 
Muse. If the metrical disposition of the 
words, and the facihty of aecent with 
which we occasionally meet, demand 
our notice, so also must we, in candour 
and in justice, speak with due commenda- 
tion of the natural excelience of some of. 
the passages, and say that they indicate 
much native talent, and sanction us in 
advising the lady (the young lady we 
presume) to persevere in cultivating the 
gifts of nature, and enable herself to add 
correctness of arrangement to beauty of 
conception. :

Duets for the Prano-forte, selected and arranged 
from Handel's Te Deums, by I, Mazzinghi, esqe 
4s. 
With the construction of these duets 
we are greatly pleased. The original 
composition is, by its very nature, partie 
cularly calculated for the use to which 
Mr. Mazzinghi has here turned it; and 
he has certainly taken advantage of 
the numerous opportunities they offer 
for imitation, and the classical union of 
parts.

fine and finished scores of Handel’s Te

true votary of the old school will admire 
and applaud the execution,

Scott, esq. The Music by Tf. Atwood, Esq, 
2s. 6d. 
Though Dr. Clarke of Cambridge, has 
also exercised his talents on ** Norman’s 
Song,” we shall avoid invidious compa- 
rison, and say that Mr. Atwood has done 
himse!f much credit by the style in which 
he has treated Mr. Scott’s lyric effusion. 
The pathos and general sombre that 
prevail through the melody, powerfully 
enforce the sentiment of the poet, and 
many of the passages are as novel as ef- 
fective.

[Nov. 1, 
revered Monarch’s enteritig inte the Fifitetly 
Year of bis Reign, Arranged by Gesualde 
Lanza, Jun. 5s. 
This song, the music of which Mr 
Lanza has arranged for the piano-forte 
and harp, with a vocal score and accom 
paniment for an orchestra and a military 
band, has never, perhaps, under all the 
‘various forms in which it has been pre- 
sented to the public, appeared to greate® 
advantage than in the edition now before 
us. The adscititious parts are judi- 
ciously applied; the accompaniment 1s 
florid and ingenious; and the effect, taken 
in the aggregate, highly complimentary 
to the compiler’s judgment. The addi- 
tional stanzas, by a clergyman of the 
established Church, are by no means 
unworthy the fire, old, simpte, but noble 
air, to which they are applied; andin the 
verse praying for the cessation of wars 
and dire discord, will, we trust, meet the 
feelings ef every true lover of his country’s 
prosperity, aad every friend of the best 
interests of humanity. 
‘€ The Imprisoned Huntsman”? a favourite Song. 
The Poetry from ike Lady of the Lake, writter 
by W. Scott, Esq. The Music composed by Je 
Whiicker. 15.6d. : 
“The Imprisoned Huntsman,” is set 
with considerable force of expression; 
and the general cast of the air is perfectly 
consonant with tae sentiment of the 
poetry. Inaword, much merit, both as 
to taste and judgment, is discoverable in 
every part of this little composition. 
Ellen’s Song, ** Ave Maria ;” from the Lady of 
He Late, writien by W. Scott, esq. The 
usie composed by Thomas Attwood, esq. 28 
Mr. Atwood, with whose professional 
merits we are too well acquainted not 
to expect from his hand compositions of 
a superior order, has not disappointed 
us in the present production. ‘The me- 
lody of Ave Maria is, in several instances, 
purely his own; and while the expression 
is faithful to the author’s sentiment and 
meaning, the bass is so well chosen, and 
accompanimentso judiciously constructed 
as to greatly enhance the general effect.
