change of the time at the words “ Then 
epened wide, the Baron’s Hall” is judi- 
cious: whileit relicvesthe ear, it height- 
ens the expression, and elucidates the 
poet’s meaning. 
A Sonata for the Harp or Piano forte, com- 
posed and dedicated to. Miss Eliza Maxtom, 
by Miss Laze'y, 4s. 
This sonata, coming from the pen of a 
young lady, brings with it a claim to our 
indulgence, in which we cannot be soun- 
gallant as not to acquiesce. Vor science, 
well-digested ideas, learned transitions, 
and methodical arrangement we have not 
looked; but a pleasing ease of concep- 
tion, and a facile flow of familiar passages 
we rather expected, and have not been 
disappomted. In a ward, this compo- 
sition, though it would not pass for the 
produc:ion of a master, 1s not uncredit- 
-able to Miss Lazenby’s talents. 
4 Grand Malitary Piece for the Piano-farte, 
composed and dedicated to ber Royal Highness 
the Princess of Wales, by F. Lanza. 45. 6d. 
The bolduegs and spirit with which the 
piece before us is conceived, will not 
fail’ to attract the attention of those who 
are partial to this species of compositioif, 
Vhe first part of the movement beginning 
in A flat is truly elegant, and the con- 
clusion is strikingly animated. 
‘§ Drown Old Care in Half a Dowen,” a much- 
admired Glee for Three Voices, composed by 
the late Thomas Auga'stine Geary, and in- 
scribed to Mr. Fobn Spray. 1s. 6d. 
In perusing “‘ Drown Old Care in Half 
a Dozen,” we find so little of what.a real 
musician would write, in his sober senses, 
that we are tempted to think that the late 
Mr. Geary had taken his half dozen be- 
fore he began the composition, and that he 
had not only drowned Old Care, but also 
his professional faculties—it is evident, 
however, that he did not die drunk, since

the world is favoured with so curious a 
specimen of what he could do’ iu his cups. 
‘These remarks appiy as well to the me- 
lody as the harmony, neither of which are 
of a deseription to confirm the old adage, 
that “ wine does wonders every day.” 
The Wood Nymph, a Glee for ‘Three Voices. 
Written by Mr. Lewis, composed by, Mr. 
Webbe, Fun. 1s. 6d. 
Some of the ideas in this glee are re= 
markably sweet and pleasing, and the 
combination is adjusted with skill. It is 
composed upon the ballad plan, and con- 
sists of three verses, each containing two 
movements. With the general effect | 
every cultivated ear will be pleased. 
“Tho thine Eyes my sweet Girl,” a favorite | 
Canzonet. The Words by the Rev., Mr. 
Roberts. Composed by E. Phelps. 1s. 6d. 
The melody of this little song is much , 
above the common cast. The‘passages are. 
tastefully turned, and the expressionis just, 
and forcible. The accompaniment, though 
too much in the arpeggio style, is elegant. 
and graceful in its effect,and forms no tris, 
vial recommendation to the composition, , 
‘*Fobn Anderson mp Fo,” aGlee for Four Voices, 
with an Accompaniment for the, Piano-forte, 
composed by Dre Clarke, of Cambridge. 25. 62. 
The melody of this glee is simple; and’ 
the paris combine, and sing:well, The, 
accompaniment is easy, and though little 
wore than a-mere compression of the 
score, is calculated to considerably heigh- 
en the general effect. eR 
The Grand Symphonies, composed hy 
Mrs. Julian Busby, and announced. for

foreseen impediments, be ready for ‘des

Consequently, the subscription. remains 
open, and: names still continue to be re- 
ceived at all the principal music-shops. .
