Review Of Literature, &C
NEW MUSIC . The Wild Violet . A Ballad ; the words by Bro . G . 'fait ; Music b y Mrs . A . Turner . Bates , Ludgate Hill , London . There is much sweetness in the words of this pretty ballad ; to which the music does fair justice ; and as a composition , Airs . Turner is entitled to share with the poet in the meed of praise . AVe hope for many future opportunities of enjoying a musical treat from the same talented
source . Three Times Three . A Masonic Song , written by Bro . J . E . Carpenter ; the Music by Bro . Harroway . London , Z . T . Purday , and Bro . Spencer , High Holborn . Price 2 s . Gd . ' This song has already obtained considerable celebrity in the AVarwick shire Lodges , where it has been sung by its talented author , and others . A general wish on the part of the Brethren for its publication having
been complied with , we have no hesitation in saying that it will become one of the standard songs of the order . The effect of the " Alasonic charge , " introduced in the chorus , the reviewer witnessed at the Jubilee of the Shakspeare Lodge , AVarwick—it is perfect and novel ; it is , in short , the song that should always follow the health of the AI . W . G . M . at all Alasonic festivals . The music , by Harroway , is original , and the well-known Masonic melodiesintroduced in the symphonieshave a
, , very good effect . The song is embellished with a beautiful lithographic portrait of the author ; we believe the only one published by Air Carpenter . To many who would possess a likeness of the author of some of the most popular songs of the day ( we opine that Air .
