NEW MUSIC.

1. Remember thy Creator. Sacred Cantata. Com-
posed by E. Reinhold.
2. Bid me Live. Ballad composed, and dedicated by
permission to his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, by
E. Reinhold.

E. Reinhold is a composer who is at present com •
partitively unknown, but who will not long remain in
obscurity, if we may judge from the works now be-
fore us. The sacred cantata is a work of genius ; the
sublime spirit of the words has been faithfully and
feelingly translated into the only universal language,
music. The composition is marked by originality and
by an intense devotional feeling. It would, we are
certain, become a great favourite at Exeter Hall.
The ballad, " Oh ! bid me Live," is a very pleasing
composition ; the music is flowing and graceful, and it
expresses the meaning of the words (and unhke the
ordinary run of songs, the words of this ballad have
meaning) of this most exquisite ballad. The melody
is full of pathos and feeling, and the accompaniments
are exceedingly clever. This elegant composition can-
not but become a favourite in every drawing-room.

The Rhineland Waltzes, as performed at Almaeles,
and by Air. John IVeippert's Band. Composed by
Wellington Guernsey.
_ _

The Mite c f the fashrunable world cannot fail to be
charmed by this graceful set tf waltzes. They are
sweet, flowing, and melodious, and will please every
accomplished votary of " the light fantastic toe ,"
they are composed :in the happiest style that art and
experience could suggest to the accomplished musician.

by Heyward J. St. Seger, Esq. Music by Mrs. J.
Passingham.

sentiment that will find a re-echo in every feeling
heart.

EXETER HALL.
The sixteenth Wednesday Concert was given last night
at Exeter Hall, and the bills described it as being for the
benefit of Herr Ernst. The unparalleled violinist had an
abundant amount of patronage, f)r every pat t of the
immense area was filled, as well as the galleries and the
choral seats of the orchestra. The chief interest of the
evening was naturally centred in the per fort:canoes of the
beneficiaire, who played four times, and never, we appre-
hend, with greater excellence. His first piece, the only
violin concerto cf poor Mendelssobn, was a musical re-
past of no ordinary kind. The andante in C, one of tie
most exquisite movements that ever emanated from
the gifted composer, was developed with a grace
and feeling that no eulogy cen do justice to ;
while the opening allegro in E minor, and the
fantastic finale in E major, were signal examples of rich
and brilliant executancy. his second performance was
the " Luduvic" fantasia. He rendered this clever and
ingenious work with undiminished ability, and was en-
cored in the pizzicato variation, which, although it is ad-
dressed to the popular taste, possesses vast constructive
merit. In the second part he performed his Prrata solo.
and the whimsical veriLtions on the Carnaval de Venice.
He was throughout the evening applauded to the echo;
and who could help participating in the acclamation
The vocal incidents were supplied by Mrs. A. Newton,
Miss Poole, Miss Fyles, Mr. B. Frodsham, and Herr
Formes (for whom an apology was made on the score of
hoarseness). The orchestra etas led by Mr. Willy, and
deserves more than ordinary praise for the careful and
discriminative manrer in which it executed the accctr.-
paeimen's to Mendeissohn'i concerto.
