- REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLIC ATIONS. 
A Selection of Welch Melodies, with appro~w 
_ priate English Words. Adapted for the 
Powe, with Symphonies and Accompani- 
ments far the Prano-forte, or Harp, by 
John Parry. 15s. 
Wy R. PARRY, “by a- andable- assi- 
LL duity, has Here: collected, and by 
the exertion of his talents arranged for 
‘the voice and piaao-forte, a considerable 
number of scarce and valuable Welch 
melodies.. Considering the labour and 
difficulty of the task, “the having to as- 
semble so, many-scarce and widely- scat- 
tered materials; to procure the national 
words; to translate and adapt those 
words to melodies, many of which 
are destitute of measure and rhyme; 
and to arrange and accompany the 
whole, without disfiguring the original 
Music; weighing these obstructions to 
success, we cannot but give Mr. Parry 
much credit for the style i in whieh he 
has acquitied himself. 
The work comes forward with every 
adventitious aid. The airs, besides being 
arranged, as described above, are sepa- 
rately, adapted for the flageolet and 
flule. Fhe inquisitive reader is fur- 
nished with observations, atonce useful 
aad entertaining, on ihe present state 
of music and poetry in Wales; a speci- 
imen is given of the old netation of an- 
cient British music; and the volume is 
razmeated with 3 handsome frontis- 
piece, represcniing king Cadwalader 
presiding at a congress of ‘rival bards in 
the seventh ceatury, and rewarding with 
a medal! the successful candidate for m3 
prize.

“* Viva Enrico,” > -Chorus in the Opera of La. 
Cuccia di Enrico IF. Compused by Signor, 
Pucilla. 3s. 6d. 
We find a liveliness. of conception, 
and a spirit of expression in this cho-» 
rus, which besneak considerable powers 
in operetical composition. If we do. 
not discover any prominent features of 
science or learned contrivanee, neliher 
do we feel disappointed at their absence ; 
it 18 long since epera chorusses exbibit-. 
ed any iraits of. that description. The 
part for the piano-forte, with) which: 
“© Viva Enrico” is accompanied, is busy 
and ingenious, and will serve as a pow- 
erful recommendation with practifiowers :

This Canzonet -is writien with ease. 
and taste, and the expression is just and 
impressive. The firs movement 13 
‘happily. introductory to the second ; 
and many pleasing and well-assimilated 
passages offer new proofs: of Dr...

ed to His Excellency the Persian Ambas- 
sador, by L. Jansen. Qs. 6d, 
The chief merit of this Serenade, (and 
- which will not fail to greatly recom 
mend it) is its variety. The several 
movements are, besides’ Dheitle pleas- 
ing, so well diversified, as to produce a 
: very engaging effect: and piand-fore’ 
p- rformers will, we are confident, prac-' 
tise it with pleasiire.
