NEW MUSIC.
Little Swigs for Little Singers.
MR. GREEN'S little songs are very unpretending, and well arranged —fit for the "mouths of babes and sucklings." The idea is a new one ; and the collection will, we have no doubt, well repay the author's trouble ; for nursery-singing is generally much patronized during the Christmas holydays. We have examined the melodies carefully : they contain nothing objectionable in point of harmony.
Songs of the Slavonians ; containing Bohemian Popular Airs, the Words and adapted by JOHN BowaiNG, Esq., the Music arranged mut harmonized by JOHN BARNETT. THE airs which accompany this volume are said to be Bohemian. They are mostly in triple time, and in the waltz style. Tile reader will at once anticipate the character of the melodies, when we give him this information. Some of them are effectively adapted for three voices. Mr. Baitenter's.arrangement is familiar, and, with allowance for an occasionally faulty accentuatiou,j unexception- able.
