the parts lie within fo moderate a compas, 
that the piece will be found univerfally

lad. Written and compofed by fobn Parry.

The natural fimplicity of the melody 
of this little ballad pleafes us highly. -No- 
thing can be more appropriate, or more 
pathetic, thanits yeneral effect: and Mr. 
Parry is entitled to the additional praife of 
having moft happily fallen into the ge- 
nuine ftyle of the old Scotch mufic. The 
fubjeét of the-words, which are very well 
written, is explained in the title-page, 
and embraces a circumftance of much pa- 
thos and interet. 
A favourite popular Polifh Air, with new Va- 
riations.  Compofed, and infcribed to ber 
Grace the Duchefs of Bedford, by Samuel 
Wefley, Ef7. 25. 
This air, though in a minor key, pof- 
feffes cenfiderable f{pirit and intereft. Mr. 
Wefley has added to it fix variations, af- 
fording much gratification to the ear, and 
fuficient execution to improve the juye- 
nile finger. ‘The fourth variation in the 
original key, major, produces a pleafing 
variety ; and the effect of the tout ex fem- 
ble is novel and ftriking. 
$* O Thou, who thro’ the filent Airs’ a Duet, 
compofed by Thomas Atwood, Efq. 1s. 6d. 
This duet, which Mr. Atwood has 
publithed with an accompaniment for the 
harp or piano-forte, is fet in tafteful and 
expreflive ftyle. The parts every where 
blend well; and the general effeé&t evinces 
much judgment in combination. The 
tefponfe at the words “ And ye clear 
ftreams,”” is ingenious, and the accompa- 
wniment and bafs are, throughout ar- 
ranged withthe {kill of a mafter.

Mazzinghi. 25. 
The arranging this piece for voices was . 
a happy idea; and Mr... Mazzinghi hes 
executed it with much addrefs. The paf- 
fages are fo eafy and fimple in their con- 
firuction, and the parts lie {. conveni- 
ently for general performance, that we 
cannot but predict that the publication 
will be found very acceptable to vocal 
practitioners. ‘

This fong is by no means devoid of me-

inftances, Mr. Bennett betrays that he is
