New York GIEE CLuB-This is volume con-
tanning one hundred glees, quarettes, tros, songs
In parts, rounds and catches, composed, select
ed, and harmonized, with an al iibitum ac-
compartment for the piano forte by George Loder,
principal OF the N. Y. Vocal Institute, The work
is very beautifully executed by the Langleys 81
Chatham street. We hail the appearance OF this
work with great pleasure We are glad to see pop
ular music taking the shape of bound octavos of
convenient size, and not from copper plate engrav-
ings, but from ordinary printers type. We have
often wondered that popular songs are not more
frequently published with the music. Sight singing
is an art easily learned, and, in fact, very extern
sively pracced throughout the country But al
though song books are common enough, there are
thousands of the best songs, the music to which is
unknown TO the mass OF singers, who could read
the notes with perfect if they We're only acces
sble at a moderate price Piano music IS too expen-
sve for the people generally and not of convenient
form. Everyone remembers the immense sale which
Mr.. Leavit's" Christian Tyre" had a fewyeaS ago.
We hope the Langleys will go on and give us a
multitude of the good old English, Scotch, Irish,
and other songs, harmonlzed in popular form, and
from the printers press In the meantime, they
may be sure the present volume will meet with all
the encouragement which its excellent execution
deserves This volume is one of the most desirable
books In the world for family OF brothers and SIS
tiers, and even parents who are fond OF family sing,
sight than the use OF 1t around the domestic reslde
We recommend itwith great satisfaction

(That spot the bard inspires y
Methought the different kinds Of love
