NEW MUSIC.

In Golden Days. Song written by C. C. Beason ;
the music by Leigh Smith. Boosey and Sons,
Oxford-street. -4"1
The Sunrise Waltz. By Leigh Smith. Chappell
and Co., New Bond-street.
We have here two graceful and attractive com-
positions in which the musician has had the rare
discretion of trusting to simplicity of expression
and flow of melody rather than to the fashionable
elaborations now unfortunately prevalent. We are
often disappointed in the music of the present day,
finding tame and spiritless melodies disguised under
elaborate variations that might perplex Miss God-
dard herself, and accompaniments to simple ballads
which must drown the voice and engage all "the
attention of most amateur singers. It isk,,
therefore, refreshing to meet with a com-
poser who more rightly: appreciates his art
and who bears in mind the undoubted fact.
that the tunes which linger on the ear and the
melodies that outlive generations, are never found
among the complications of " brilliant variations "
or startling " fantasias," but owe their inexhaustible
charm to the secret of simple melody, "In Golden
Days" is a graceful and expressive air, set, we re-
gret to say, to very sentimental words ; but that
will not invalidate its attractions in the drawing-
room. It is within the compass of mest voices, and,
with a little care in the singing, would make a very
expressive and charming ballad. The " Sunrise
Waltz " is elegant and spirited, and though quite
within the reach of moderate pianistes, would be
very effective if well played. We hope to meet
with Mr. Smith in future compositions.
