A Recreation, compofed of a Scene or Introduc- 
tion, by Louis Von Ejch, Ejg. 55. 
Yhis publication confilts of a Scene, 
an Aria, and a Rondo. The three move- 
ments are, as they ought to be, written 
with a view to each other ; and a feries 
of imprefiions refult from the order in 
which they are given, which had been 
lott by a different arrangement. ‘The air 
is taftefully fancied, and the fubject of 
the rondo will not fail to be well received 
by thole who feek for melody and origi- 
nality of character. 
6 O row thee in my Highland Plaid.’ A fa- 
wourite Scottifp Ballad, written by Mr, Ro- 
bert Tannabiil, and fet to Mufic by F. Rofsy 
Efq. of Aberdeen. 1s. 
We have perufed this little ballad with 
great pleafure. ‘The air is ftrikingly na- 
tural, and purely Scottith. The intro- 
ductory and intermediate fymphonies are 
{weet and appropriate, and the bafs is 
chofen with that fcience and judginent 
for which we have long tince given Mr. 
Bofs our full credit. 
A Grand March, performed at Vauxhall Gar- 
dens by the New Military Band, under the 
Direéion of Mr. Mackintof. Compofed and 
arranged for the Piano-forte, by I. Powell. 
25. 6d, 
This piece is not without many recom- 
mendatory traits, The introduétion is are- 
gular well-digefted movement, and is fuc- 
ceeded by the march, with the fubject of 
which we are too mach pleafed not to 
wilh that it lefs directly reminded us of 
an idea of Hay dn in his fymphony called 
the Surprije. The third movement is in- 
genioully conceived, 
compolition with a fpirited and engaging 
effect, 
<2 Brokcn Cake. Glee for Three Voices. The 
Poetry from Anacreon » by Thomas Moore, Efg. 
The Mufic by Sir Fobn Stevenfon, Muf. Doc. 
1s. 6d, 
The melody of this glee is elegant and 
tafteful: it partakes of the ftyle of the 
poetry, and gives its fentiments with 
truth and force, We neverthelefs regret 
that Sir John Stevenfon has not enriched 
his compofition with fome of thofe points 
and refponfes fo peculiarly relevaut to 
vocal harnony, and fo fully expected 
from the man of feience; and fhould 
have. becn even better pleafed than we 
have profetied ourfelves to be, had Sir 
John’s attention to the propriety of

by Captain Spencer, 
Sy Mertatl a * ss 
We are pleafed with the bold broad 
{tyle of this melody. It well accords 
with the fubject. of the words, and 
-will not fail to attract the lovers of that 
open eale and manly. fimplicity which 
ever characterized the-true English fong. 
An Heroic Song, written 
the Mufic compofed by 
Aria et Rondo pour le Piano-forte. Compofees 
et dedices a mi Lady Sarab Spencer, par Le 
Von Ejch. 33. 
This is an ingenious compofition, The 
variety and } pleat: intnefs of the ideas will 
draw the favourable attention of every 
cultivated ear, and evince the fertile ima- 
gination of the author. The rondo is a 
Polacca, the theme of which is novel and 
{prigitly, and happily relieved by the 
digzrellive matter. 
Numbers Five and Six of RECREATION. 
Compofed by Mr. Latour. Lach 1s. 6d, 
The prefent numbers of this pleafing 
and RESIEL little publication, contain the 
favourite Welth tune, “‘ Ap Shenkin,” 
and an Air in the ‘Travellers, which Mr. 
Latour has worked into piano exereifes, 
of a familiar and attractive ftyle. The 
latter is augmented and embellithed with 
{ix variations, calculated to improve 
without fatiguing the young practitioner. 
The work is to conlift of twelve numbers,

The words by T. Moore, Efg. The Mufic 
compofed and arranged, with an Accompani- 
ment for the Piano-forte, by R. Humpbreyy 
Dublin. As. 
The beauty, eafe, and fimplicity of 
this little fong, do much credit to Mr. 
Humphrey’s tafte in ballad cormpotition. 
The compofer has fo palpably caught the 
fpirit of his author, that the duileft ear 
muft be ttruck with the analogy of the 
words and mutic. 
Rondo for the Harp or Piano-forte, by Fofepe 
Roefler. 25, 
This rondo is of a fpirited and ani- 
mating caft, and particularly inviting te 
the juvenile ear. The paffages are natu- 
rally conceived, and arife fo fairly out 
of each other, as to produce an agrec- 
able and conneéted whole,
