The Paffions, in a Series of Ten Songs for the 
Veice and Piano-forte. Written and come 
poled by Mr. Dibdin, 8s. 
FR NILE Paiions which Mr, Dibdin has 
touched in this work are thofe of 
Jove, Mirth, Glory, Friendship, Cou- 
roge, Hope, Fear, Sport, Chearfulnes, 
and Pleajure. The airs (for each paflion 
forms the fubject of a feparate fong) are 
well adapted to their refpective objects 
of imitation, and the words are written 
with the ufual force and point of the 
author. The variegated catt of this pros 
duction, ana the tancy and appropriate- 
nefs- with which the whole is conceived 
and executed wil!, we doubt not, attract 
that notice, and produce that reward, due 
to mott of Mr. D,’s mgeniogs and enter- 
taining labours, ' 
Loree Sonatas for tke Piasczforte. Campofed and 
dedicated to the Princefs Amelia, by Leopold 
Kozcluch, Elg. &s. ; i 
Mr. Kozelach has’ thrown into thefe 
fonatas much of that fire, tafte, and bml- 
hancy of imagination, for which his pror 
ductions are fo eminently difunguifhed. 
The ideas are, for the moft part, of g 
novel cait, and mfe out of gach other 
with eafe and nature. Some of the ilow: 
movements are remarkably graceful, and 
the modulation is every where fo ingeni- 
ous and miaiterly as to point ont the 
judgment and {cience of the compofer, 
A Cclleliog of Wella Airs, exprefly adapted 
| for the Piano-forte. Dedicated to Sir W. W. 
Wynne, by Fobn Parry. 5s. 
Thefe airs. are arranged on a novel 
lan, formyng fix divertimentos, each 
conifting of three of the moft popular 
and favourite melodies; and are recom- 
ynonded by avcompaniments for a flute 
- gas} violoncejlo, and notes and oblerva- 
and ther variations are fanciful and flos 
tions on the mode of playing and finging 
the Welfh mulic. The airs are certainly 
, felected with great tafte and judgment, 
and are ably adapted for the inftrument 
for which they are profefledly mtended, 
The whole forms a body of pleafing exer- 
cifes for juvenile practitioners, and will 
be found as ufeful as agreeable. 
The Complaint of Ninotboma, a Song written by 
Mr. Colleridge, and fet to Mufic by I. F. 
Rimbault. 15s. 6d. 
“ The Complaint of Ninothoma,” with 
which is given an accompaniment for 
the piano-forte, is fet with eonfiderable 
judgment and ability. The expreffion is 
jutt and forcible, and the general caft 
of the melody original and finking. The 
affages at the lines, “‘ Nor beneath the 
cold blafts of the tree,” “ A ghoft by my 
_cavern it darted,” and “To howl thro* 
my cavern by night,” are particularly 
impreffive, and evinee both: the feeling 
and talents of the compofer. 
Nuriber I. of the Vogal Magazine, confifing 
of Canzoncts, Madrigals, Songs, Duetts, 
Frios, Quartetts, Quintetts, Glees, Gc. Com- 
poled by Fofeph Kemp, 43s. 6d. * 
This publication, both m its plan and 
execution, is fo creditable to Mr. Kemp's 
judgment and ingenuity, as to induce - 
Gar wiih that it may meet due encourage 
ment. The melodies and-harmonizationg 
are much above mediocrity, and will not, 
in our opinion, fail to pleafe the gene- 
rality of hearers. The work will be 
_pubhfhed in monthly numbers, and mott 
‘of the pieces are to have an aceompaille- 
ment for the piano-forte oy harp.
