NEW MUSIC.
MOONLIGHT ON THE OCEAN. Words by J.
E. CARPENTER; music by J. W. CHERRY, 2s. COCKS
and Co. New Burlington-street (publishers to the Queen). A
beautiful song, tuneful and brilliant, of, moderate compass.
Cherry's melodies are always pleasing and varied..
"Our Beautiful Mountain Home." "The Flower Gatherers."
The music of these duets is light and captivating. We can
imagine nothing more genial and pleasant in the drawing-room
than two sweet voices warbling them in harmonious unison.
The melodies are by Stephen Glover, and the words by J. E.
Carpenter. 3s.

"Mary Astore." Ballad. Words by Mrs. Crawford ; Music
by Stephen Glover. 2s. A plaintive, sentimental piece, in
three flats, worthy of the reputation of the distinguished
author. Miss Dolby bas rendered it very popular this season
at the fashionable concerts.
"My Mother's Gentle Word." By Henry Griesbach. 2s.
We do not remember to have seen any of this gentleman's
compositions before, but if lie continue to write in the same
placid, tuneful strain, he will become a favourite author. Both
poetry and music of this little ballad are unobjectionable. We
admire its fervent, kindly spirit.
" Dame Durden Quadrilles." By J. Blewitt. 3s. ; duets, 4s.
These are the spirited, dashing quadrilles performed nightly,
with the greatest applause in the popular Drury-lane panto-
mime Harlequin Hudibras. The movements, Le Pantalon
L'Ete, La Poule, and the finale are arranged with great skill., The title-nage is brilliantly illuminated with a characteristic
vignette I:iy Leighton Brothers.

"The Simshine of our Home." By Edward Land. 2s.
This song is decidedly the gem of the season. It is founded
on a passage in one of Mrs. Stowe's works, and the composer
has wedded it to a melody full of soul and expression. ➢Liss
Dolby sings it delightfully.

"La Berne BlanC'he." Grand Galop for the Piano-forte. By
Brinley Richards. 4s.

COCKS and Co. are distinguished for their extensive catalogue
of instrumental music, and of the modern names that appear
in it that of Brinley Richards is important, his " Classical
Pianist," comprising pieces by Mozart, Weber, Haydn, Chopin,
Beethoven, Handel, and other masters, and arranged with
erudition and skill. "La Reine Blanche" is sparkling and
graceful, and will find its way on the pianos of thousands of
our more advanced amateurs,"— Vide Weekly Times, Jan. 22.
