** The Boy and the Flageolet 3 a Ballad, for 
the Harp and Fiano-forte, written by F. 
Bryan. 1s. 6d. 
The mufic of - this ballad, produced, 
confeffedly by the compofer of “ The 
Maid cf Wooburn,” is diftinguithed 
fpom the common melodies of the day, 
by iis expreffion and marks of original 
fancy. Mot of the paflages are pleafing- 
jy conceived, and .fome of them fo firik- 
*ngly novel as to give much value to the 
compofition. 
%¢ T lowe to bear the Weod-lark fing 3° a favour- 
ite Rondo, for the Voice and Piano-forte. The 
Mufic compofed by Fobn Parry, Mafter of the 
Royal Denbigh Band. 1s. 
The general caft of this ballad is plea- 
fant and exprefiive. A few of the paflages 
are not, perhaps, conftruéted with that 
eafe and {moothnefs neceflary to melody 
purely vocal ; yet no inconfiderable merit 
pervades the compofition ; and the general 
effect is highly creditable to Mr, Parry’s 
tafte and judgment. 
A flow Movement, and the favourite Scetch Air, 
<¢ This is no my ain Houje 3” Arranged as a 
Rondo for the Piano-forte, by T. H. Butler, 
25. 
Mr. Butler, to whofe produétions we 
have fo frequently awarded our praife, 
brings in his prefent effort another claim 
to our favourable report. ‘Phe intreduc- 
tery movement is conceived with tafte, 
and leads the ear to the adopted air with a 
highly agreeable effect ; whilft the ar- 
rangement 1s throughout eonducted with 
judgment. ‘Thofe piano-forte ftudents 
whofe attention it may engage, will find 
their account in its practice. 
Al grand March for a Military Band 3 alfo for 
the Piano-forte, by W. Kitchner, M. D. 
Ts. 
We find in this March much ftreneth 
of thought and military fpirit. The 
parts are put together with addrefs, and 
the cffeét of the whole furpaffes what we 
could have expected from a medical gradu- 
ate, did we not recolle& that the God of 
Phyiic is alfo the infpirer of harmony. 
6¢ Hujb thy rude Murmurs, wand’ ring fiveam 3” 
a favourite Song with an Accompaniment for 
the Piano-forte, or Harp, compofed by ‘Fobn 
Rofs. 15. 7 
This fong, the words of which: are 
written by the ingenious Mr. Rannie, is 
remarkably fmooth and eafy in its melody ; 
and the exprefiion is juft, if not forcible, 
Review of New Mufical Publications. 
[oa t 
We do not mean to rank this with the bef 
of Mr. Rofs’s-numerous efforts in this 
kind’; it is, however, of refpectable me- 
rit, and, by the aid of the piano-forte ac- © 
companiment, will be found very plea~ 
fing. -! 
“© Th Shepberd’s Daughter ;” written by Mr. 
Fox, and fung with the greatefi Applaufe at 
Vauxhall Gardens ; compofed by GF. Brooks, 
Is. p 
«© The Shepherd’s Daughter,” isa very 
pretty ballad ; moft of the paflages are of 
a novel caft, and do much credit to Mr. 
Brooks’ fancy; but the effect of the whole 
would fo obvioufly have been improved by 
the addition of a piano-forte accompani- 
ment, that we cannot but wonder Mr. 
Brooks did not beftow upon it that advan.

Three Popular Dances; performed at Sandwichs 
Canterbury and Faverfham 3 compofed and 
adapted for the Piano-forte, by G. Philpot. 
“3s. ‘Bad. : 
This pleafing, though trifling, publica- 
tion, well ferves the. purpofe for which © 
alone it could be interided; that of amu- 
fing the ear, while it improves the finger 
of the young praétiticner. 
66 Each coming Day; the favourite Ballads 
jung by Mrs. Mills, in Il Bordocani; arranged 
as a Rondo for the Piano-forte, by the late F. 
Moorehead. 1s. 6d. ; 
This air is arranged with confiderable 
ability, and forms in its prefent fhape a 
pleafing piano-forte rondo. The difpo- 
fition of the paflages befpeaks much know- 
ledge of the inftrument for which they are — 
written ; and we may jufily add that they 
cannot be practifed without improvement 
to the learner. | 
‘€ The Britannia in a Storm ;” compofed by Fames 
Henry Leffler, Organift of St. Catherine, near 
the Tower. 15. 
This fong pofleffes fome bold paflages, 
and a unity of charater pervades the me- 
lody ; yet but little of novelty is felt in the 
general effect; and the whole exhibits 
a mind ingenious in itfelf, but not: 
yet fufficiently exercifed in this {pecies of 
compofition. 
Two Marches ard a Waltz, performed by the 
Royal Denbigh Band, at Havering Bower 5. 
compofed and dedicated to Lady Smith Burgefsy 
by }. Parry, M. D. B. 1s. 
Thefe pieces are adapted for the piano- 
forte, and form pleafing little exercifes for 
that inftrument. The quick march is te 
markably pretty, and the waltz fucceeds 
it with good effect. ' :
