MUSIC.

MOT/iltT.
Saturday last being the &universal, of the death
of Yorart—he died on the 6th of December, 1791--the
weakly concert at the Crystal Palace was roads the ocessices

overture seems to have been on.. But this fart rata solely

wrote a quartet sad • twat ; the letter the admirable
' Namibia Amebae' for the ores of Zs filiarealio 'spits."
But, netwithilmealag the stews a patties informa-
tion, there °moot be • doubt of the emsoiseners of
this overture. It is redolent of Moan tom tho
first ter to the ha, and shows no traced garlic hem-
Mrs or Masile. On the contney, it is the rich fruit of
cultivated genies; and to the overture to Figaro, and la-
fear may to the Dm Oiontrini and Fanedorfian ; both of
which, by the way, were also performed at this concert. The
overture to is Vitlawella &pita ought long ego to have
been made a stock piece at our hat concerts. The cantata
(or, note properly, scam), "Non tamer,' was exceedingly

—Mosarth the lawn is this elms of composition—was
played by Ben Parser with the most finished execution, and
a true hang for the greadeur and beauty of the work.
The chaining symphony in G minor revived all justice
from Beer Maan's fine osehestra, which has no fault save •
deficiency of strength to the stringed inetraments, especially
the baser. The whale mooed, in short, was incellent, and
worthy of the occasion. It was listened to, moreover, with
great attestioo, ad the warmed applause, by an imamse
audience, who Mad the piece to overflowing.
