Fading Awaf . Written and composed by AiraE Pricker . -Robert Cocks and Co ., New Burlington Street . —This is an elegant little song , and in addition to possessing a really pretty melody , has the very great advantage of being so excessively simple , that we
believe vocally and instrumentally it will come within the capabilities of almost every performer . Musical composers , in the attempt to be classical , often crowd their productions with a parcel of useless technicalities ; but such cannot expect the ordinary run of purchasers , who are for the most part wholly guiltless of an educated musical taste , to render their speculations profitable by general support .
The Reaper and the Mowers , and Til whisper to thee . Music by J . ~ W . Hobbs . Robert Cocks and Co ., New Burlington Street . —The same praise justly applies to , the first of these songs . It has that great element of beauty , simplicity ; is slightly serious in style , as it ought to be to suit the words , ~ some of the most beautiful ever written in the English language * and is deserving of a place in every fair
collection of vocal music . " I'll whisper to thee" is of course wholly different in character , but very good in its way . It is rather moire difficult , but we may venture to say will repay any young lady or gentleman for a few hours' application bestowed in mastering the graceful sweeping melody , waltz-like in character , and the effective repetition of the somewhat difficult word " whisper , " which characterises it .
The Postman ' s Knock . Written by L . M . Thornton , Esq . Composed by "W . T . "W righton . Robert Cocks and Co ., New Burlington Street . —A good comic song is often a windfall . This with ordinary powers in the buffo line will doubtless help to set young people in good humour during coming Christmas festivities . "With its gaudy title-page , depicting the postman ( we should say upon the Queen ' s birthday , the very morning of his donning his new scarlet coat so fresh and bright ) it will be deemed well worth the prescribed 2 s . 6 d .
WE are happy to announce the approaching publication of a beautiful little balkd , sung some time ago by Miss Stewart and much inquired after , from the pen of Mrs . Octavius Ereire Owen , a lady high in fame for her literary productions , but equally gifted as a musical composer . The new song published by her at Messrs . Cocks ' s , New Burlington Street , is entitled "My Cottage Home , " and is well worthy of the genius which produced " How fondly yet . " Mrs . Owen ' s imagination is of that decidedly high musical order , that we only wish she would favour the public with her compositions more frequently , and not forget her association with Terpsichore , from having won such Hurcls in her devotion to Clio .
