" 'Willie brew'd a peek o' maut;" a Glee for
three voices. By
W. SHORE.
BURNS'S well-known song is here set (as the words indicate it ought to be) for three voices ; and Mr. SHORE has entered into the spirit of the poetry most heartily and happily. His glee will, no doubt, enliven many a convivial circle.
Davy's Song "Just like love," harmonized by P. NovEm.o for three voices.
Sonic years since, a party of Metropolitan vocalists were making a provincial tour; and, on their arrival at a town at which they had an- nounced a concert, found, to their dismay, that all their music had been left behind them. The hour of exhibition was approaching, and each of the party was obliged to employ the intervening time in composing or arranging materials for it. .VINCENT NOVELL° chanced to be of the number, and his contribution to the stock was the beautiful ar- rangement of DAVY'S then popular air, "Just like love." Generally speaking, we are not admirers of this kind of transmutation ; but in the present instance, it is impossible to listen without pleasure to the heightened effect which is imparted to a lovely melody.
"I saw her at the Fancy Fair;" a Bad. Sung by Mr. TEMPLE- TON, at Vauxhall Gardens; composed by JOHN BARNETT.
A pleasing and graceful melody, which probably will earn more po- pularity for its author than many of his more elaborate compositions. :
