Now in her Green Mantle," a Glee for Four Voices, as sung by Mrs. Vaughan, Messrs. . Knyuett, Vangban, and J. B. Sale. Composed by William Knyvett, esq. 15. 6d. This glee, in which we find several appropriate and pleasing passages, is, though slight in its texture, woven together with considerable ingenuity, and bespeaks much familiarity with this species of composition. The four parts are evidently intended for a bass, tenor, counter-tenor, and soprano; why, there fore, Mr. Knyvett has written the tenor part in its proper cliff, and the countertenor part in the treble cliff, we confess ourselves at a loss to conceive, since every reason, that we are aware of, that could be offered for giving the treble cliff to the counter-tenor part, must be equally cogent for the adoption of the same cliff in the tenor part.

An Anglo-Caledonian Air, with Variations for the Piano-forte. Composed and dedicated to Miss Baillie, of Grosvenor-street, by J. B. Cramer, esq. 35.

Mr. Cramer has produced, in the present emanation of his genius, an exer cise for the piano-forte, from which the juvenile practitioner will derive much pleasure as well as profit. The general style of the music of these pages is florid, free, and playful: the most is made of the theme, which, if not strike ingly sweet, is considerably attractive, and the aggregate effect is worthy the long-acknowledged talents of the com

poser.

Number VII. of National Melodies, consisting of the most admired Airs of England, Ire land, Scotland, and Wales. Arranged as Rondes, or with Variations for the Pianoforte. 2s. 6d.

The present Number of the work contains the celebrated Irish Air of "Langolee." The variations are by Mr. Augustus Mewes, and do credit to his taste and ingenuity in embellishment: though we must say that Mr. M. somewhat too frequently, and too widely, digresses from his subject.

Musical Curiosities, or a Selection of National Songs and Airs, by Edward Jones, Bard to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent.

[blocks in formation]

a body of variegated and well chosen melodies, that do much credit to the selector's judgment, and will be found highly acceptable to the public. A Solemn Hymn for Trinity Sunday. Composed by Henry Harington, M.D. 15.

This hymn is composed for three voices; and may be sung either by treble, tenor, and bass, two trebles and a buss, or counter-tenor, tenor, and bass. The melody is solemn and affecting, and the parts are put together with a mastery that bespeaks a familiar acquaintance with the secrets of good composition. Haydn's Quartett, (No. 11.) Arranged for the Piano-forte, by Dr. Crotch. Ss. 6d. The arrangement of this composition lies so far within the large compass of Dr. Crotch's professional qualifications, that we scarcely need say that all which real taste and science can achieve in so humble a task, has been here accom◄ plished.

Three Sonatas for the Piano-forte or Harp. Composed by F. Fiorillo. 8s.

These sonatas, which are interspersed with English, Welsh, and Scottisha National Airs, are obviously designed for the practice of the juvenile finger. They are easy in their style, will prove pleasant to the ear that is not fastidious, and are certainly calculated to improve the young practitioner.

Our Arms were pil'd," a Song on the glo rious and ever-memorable Battle of Barrosa 1s. 6d.

Of the zeal and loyalty of the musie and poetry of this song, (which are expressly dedicated to the army of Great Britain), we can speak in terms of unqualified approbation. This, the mu sical poet, or poet-musician, may clain of our justice; and our candour will, perhaps, be best shown by confining our remarks to these acknowledged merits.
