NATIONAL CHURCH HARMONY.

TONTAINING tunes calculated for
~ public worship, anthems and select
pieces for fasts, thanksgivings, Christmas,
missionary meetings, ordinations, dedica-
tons, anniversaries, &C &c. &C. by n. D.
GOULD-neao stereotyped edition, en-
larged.
The publishers have been induced, in
consequence of the very liberal patronage
bestowed upon this work, to add to it four
teen pages Of new music, in addition to
the former supplement, without increase Of
price
The work now contains $50 psalm
tunes, giving a large variety, adapted to
every metre Of sacred poetry found in
books used in any Of our churches, 1t
also contains 80 anthems and select pieces,
including the compositions of more than
one hundred different authors.
The new plan adopted for this work of
placing the full harmony on the Bass and
Treble staff, in small notes, has been high
~ commended, and will readily be &C.
knowledged of important advantage to all
those who play the organ and piano forte.
The conciseness and clearness Of the
rudiments-the adaptation Of additional
words to the common tunes, to give vari-
ety. and prevent the scholar from learning
time, accent, tune words, &c. by note too,
must also be an advantage perceived by
every teacher and chorister,
The metrical tunes are so arranged that
on most of the pages will be found two Of
a different character, on such relative KEYS
as will enable choristers to pass readily
from one to the other, when the sentiment
Of the words vary in the same hymn, so
as to require music of a different charac-
| ter.
AS the work is stereotyped, the public
will not be perplexed with constant chang
es, as none will be made, except the addi-
ton oftunes, which all can have, and the
correction of typographical errors which
may occur
The work is printed on good paper,
from handsome type, and is in every way
manufactured in the best manner.
Also the JUVENILE HARMONY, con-
tanning appropriate hymns and music, for
Sabbath Schools, Sabbath School anniver-
saries, and family devotion. BY N. D.
Gould
This little work, which is intended fol-
Sabbath Schools, Sabbath School ami
versares, and family devotion, we con-
slider one of great merit, because pecul,
iarly we'll adapted to the object for which
it is intended. 1t contains the Rudiments
of Music, set forth in plain, familiar
manner, so that persons little versed in
the science of music, may understand, SO
as to be able to teach children and youth
in this interesting and increasingly popu
lar branch of education. The music
which is mostly original, is simple, YET
chaste; the words are appropriate, and the
form and execution of the work such as
to render it attractive. Its remarkable
cheapness, too, we think must recommend
it to every one desiring such work. L
contains thirty-one tunes and sixty-three
hymns, and is sold at the very low price
of $40 per hundred, or 124 cts. single.
Wethink it cannot but meet with CRATE
full reception by the friends of sacred mu-
sic, and particularly by children and Sab.
bath School teachers throughout the coun.
try.
%Teachers and choristers will be
furnished with sample copies gratis, or
