REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS.

THE Wicklow Mountains, a Comic Opera,
performed at the Theatre, Covent-Garden,
confitting of National Airs, &c. by W.
Shield, 8s.
Longman and Broderip.

After a fedulous perufal of this opera, we find the ingenious compofer entitled to much commendation. In the melodies which he has felected from the Hibernian minstrels he has exercifed much judgment, and in thofe of his own production has difplayed a confiderable por tion of that inventive talent which pervades his operatical compofitions.

With the effect of the overture, which is almoft wholly compiled we were greatly pleafed at the theatre, and find that in its prefent ftate it forms an agreeable leffon for the piano-forte. We cannot however pardon the theoretical impropriety of its commencing in one key, and concluding in another. The air "Here at her cabin doo," by Mr. Shield, with which the piece opens, is fimply pretty, and its introduction by the horns particularly attractive. The fucceeding fong is charac teriftic, and the duet "Ab, dearest love," produces a friking fweetnefs of effect.

The born, brill, mellow, loud, and clear," by Mr. Shield, is a fong of much merit, and is diftinguifhed by paffages ftrongly appropriate to the words; as in the notes given to "Or dying pant, or nobly fivell," and

The lover bears the voice of fame." The Ruffian air fet to "Felix, you have rebb'd the mail," with which the first act concludes, is judiciously chofen. The fecond act commences moft agreeably with "A linnet pursued," which is a beautiful little air: the next" Virgin fnows," which is pleafingly conceived, reminds us of the style of Dr. ARNOLD; and When young they call'd me roaring boy," which is a kind of English bravura, gives the poet's fenfe with a py force and clearness. The chorus "At the hazard of your lives," though not of a first-rate defcription, as a fcien

tific compofition, poffeffès fome merit,
and the old fa, la, la, makes an excellent
finale.

Three Trios for Two German Flutes, or Flute,
Violin, and Violoncello, by Theobald Mon-
ini. 5s.
Culliford and Co.
The trios now before us are short,
familiar, and perfectly calculated for the
exercife of young practitioners. The
plan upon which fuch productions are ne
ceffarily conftructed, does neither require
nor admit much science, confequently, we
are not to look for it in the prefent pub-
lication however, it is by no means def-
titute of that quality, and the style of its
melody is fmooth, natural, and pleafing.
A Study for the Flute in all the Keys, by J. F.
Hoffmeifer, 45.
Linley,

This production of Mr. Hoffmeister
tor of the Flute, in which character he
now presents himself to the public. The
exercifes are progreffive, and judiciously
conftructed for their intended purpose→
that of improving the practitioner.
The favourite Overture to Harlequin Mariner,
for the Piano-Forte, by J. Sanderson, 45,
Culliford and Co.

This Overture comprises two move, ments, the first of which, in Allegro Maeftofo, is bufy, bold, and lively, and the fecond, a Rondo in Allegro Moderato, is pleafing in its fubject and equally animating. The ftronger and more ftriking paffages are skilfully relieved by the piano parts, and the whole forms an excellent pantomime overture,

Cowflips of the Valley, by John Moulds, Is.
Culliford and Co,

"Cowflips of the Valley" is a pretty little air. Of the poetry we cannot speak in very high terms, but the mufic is fo far calculated to compenfate that deficiency as, in the aggregate, to entitle him to much credit,

Review of New Mufic.

Six Ealy Duetts for Two Violoncellos, in which feveral favourite Scotch and Welch Airs are introduced, by Jofeph Rinagle, Profeffor of the Violoncello at Oxford. Lin'ey. Mr. Reinagle in thefe Duetts has fuceceded in his obvious intention to furnish the young practitioner on the Violoncello with fome agreeable and improving exercifes. Their feveral movements are bold, clear, fimple, and impreffive. The po-, pular airs of Tweed Side, Race of Shenkin, Lochaber, and Mony Musk, are introduced with great propriety, and relieve the other parts of the work.

D. Corri.

A very favourite Ruffian Duett, for Two Voices; tranflated into Italian, and arranged with an Accompaniment for the Piano-Forte, by Corri and Co. The air of this Duet is familiar and pleafing, and with the prefent tranflation produces a very good effect. Each part runs through the melody feparately, after which they combine, and are fo judicioufly variegated as to form an excellent compofition,

Haydn's celebrated Overture, compofed for, and performed at, Mr. Saloman's Concert, 4s. Corri and Duffek.

We derived much pleasure from the perufal of this little Overture, in every part of which the great mafter is evident. In the form in which it is here given to the public it makes a most excellent fonata for the Piano Forte, and cannot fail by its ftriking, florid, and novel paffages, to delight the ear while it improves the finger.

Three Sonatas for the Harp, with an Accompa-
niment for a Violin, ad libitum, by J. B.
Meyer. 7s. 6d.
Linley.

Mr. Meyer has fo conftructed thefe
fonatas that they are nearly as well calcu-
lated for the Piano-Forte as for the in-
compofed. They are, generally fpeak-
ftrument for which they are profeffedly
ing, moft truly in their ftyle; and in
fome of their movements, efpecially in
the rondos, they difplay confiderable
beauty and originality of imagination.
The first piece is in E flat major, and con-
fifts of three movements, the fecond of
which, in B flat, is highly agreeable in its
fubject, and introduces the last movement
with great
effect. The fecond leffon is
in A flat, and opens with an elegant idea
which is well purfued. The fucceeding
romance in E flat, is prettily conceived,
and the concluding rondo is as admirable
for its beauty as its fimplicity. The third
fonata is in B flat major, and though
in the aggregate not equal to the two
former, yet poffeffes much merit, the
chief part of which lies in the Siciliano
movement, and the rondo à la Polaco.

Six English Canzonets, by J. Huttenes. 10s. 6d.

Birchall.

Thefe Canzonets appear to be the production of much labour; we are forry we cannot fay of much genius alfo. The firft air is natural and pleafing, but the remaining five exhibit very little of those recommendations. The fecond is very barren of melody, as alfo the third, which opens with a recitative, or with fomething between a recitative and an air. The fourth air, which is a ballad, is next in merit to the firft, but is fpoiled by the accompaniment, which, for the most part, is fo bufy and elaborate as to deftroy its fimplicity and expreffion. The fifth is encumbered with extraneous and unneceffary fharps and flats, and is almost void of air; and the fixth poffeffes the palpable defect of preparing the ear for the fifth of the key, and inftantly clofing in the original key.

Rondos, No. 1, 2, 3, from Pleyel, adapted for the Pedal Harp, by J. F. Behlius, Is. each. Riley.

Thefe Rondos are felected with difcernment, and skilfully adapted to the intrument for which they are here publifhed. They poffefs one recommendation of confiderable confequence; which is, that they are alfo calculated to pleafe and to Amprove the piano-forte practitioner.

ADDRESS

OF

We find much characteristic melody in this fong; confequently, it is wild; and if it begins in one key and concludes in another (which is a kind of mufical bull} it is not the lefs national on that account. The Death of Maria, by J. Ambrose, 1s. Riley.` The Death of Maria," is one of thofe fongs which really merit the epithet far ourite. The fentiment of the poetry is feelingly and elegantly conveyed in a melody that is chate and claffical.

PRESIDENT WASHINGTON

To the People of America, announcing his Intention to refign the Prefidentship.

Friends and Fellow-Citizens !

THE period for the new election of a

citizen, to adminifter the Executive Government of the United States, being not far diftant, and the time actually arrived, when your thoughts must be employed in defignating the person who is to be clothed with that important truft, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expreffion of the public voice, that I fhould now apprize you of the refolution I have formed, to decline being confidered among the number of thofe out of whom a choice is to be made.

I beg you, at the fame time, to do me the juftice to be affured, that this refolution has not been taken, without a fict regard to all the confiderations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that, in withdrawing the tender of fervice, which fi ence in my fituation might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your furure intereft, no deficiency of grateful refpect for your paft kindness, but am fupported by a full conviction that the ftep is compatible with both.

The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in. the office to which your fuffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform facrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your defice. I conftantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power, confitently with motives which I was n tat liberty to difregard, to return to that retirement from which I had been re luctantly drawn. The ftrength of my incimation to do this, previous to the last election, had even led to the preparation of an addrefs to declare it to you; but niature reflection on the then perplexed and

critical pofture of our affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of perfons entitled to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea.

I rejoice that the state of your concerns, external as well as internal, no longer renders the purfuit of inclination incompatible with the fentiment of duty or propriety; and am perfuaded, whatever partiality may be retained for my fervices, that in the prefent circumftances of our country, you will not difapprove my determination to retire.

[ocr errors]

The impreffions with which I first undertock the arduous truft, were explained on the proper occafion. In the ditcharge of this truft, I will only fay, that I have, with good intentions, contributed towards the organization and administration of the Government, the best exertions of which a very fallible judgment was capable. Not unconfcious, in the outfet, of the inferiority of my qualifications, experience, in my own eyes, perhaps fill more in the eyes of others, has frengthened the motives to diffidence of mytelf; and every day the increafing weight of years admonishes me more and more that the fhade of retirement is as neceffary to me as it will be welcome. Satisfied that if any circumftances have given peculiar value to my fervices, they were temporary, I have the confolation to be ieve, that while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political feene, patriotifm does not forbid it.

In looking forward to the moment which is intended to terminate the career of my public life, my feelings do not permit me to fufpend the deep acknowledgment of that debt of gratitude which I owe to my beloved country, for the many honours it has conferred upon me, ftill more for the
