new PUBLICATIONS.

From Hammers music store, $40 J
street, Sacramento, are eight pieces of
music, published by that house. One of
these was procured in Canada from the
author, and is the first piece of music
ever printed in this city. The music, as
TO the six easy instrumental pieces Is un-
der the title of sounds From the Golden
Gate" and are all arranged for the piano
by Alfred D'Orsini. Tine title page bears
neat Autographed view Of the Golden
Gate, looking outward. The first of the
six easy pieces OF the series is
"Ye Merry Birds" by Gumbert;
the next is Leopold Salvador March,"
by DR.. Crosse; the third, ''Nightingale's
Song" by Zeller; the fourth, My Made
line Marie" by j. c. Walling of this city,
arranged from the song of that name of
of which we had occasion to make
complimentary mention heretofore. The
fifth is May Festival" by Behr, and
the sixth, "Estudiantina," by Lacome.
The seventh piece Of the number before
us is ''The Little Buttercup Rockaway,"
rustic dance composed for the piano by
Alfred D'Orsini. 1t is of five pages. The
eighth piece IS song and chorus, entitled
''San Francisco words and music by
Henry e. Lloyd, arranged by Theodore
Martens. 1t is of four pages. This song
and chorus has met with great success.
1t is suited to the concert hall and thea
ter and the clubroom more than for the
parlor. 1t is spirited, has vim and life in
1t, and the melody is as catching as it is
pretty-as catchy songs 60. If in treating
IN song of the California metropolis, Mr..
Lloyd had chosen for the subjects OF two
OF his verses something more eleVating
than beer and Corbett, his song would be
tit for any merry assemblage. The seven
instrumental pieces are brilliantly ar
ranged, and are simplihed, too, without
any loss of beauty-all which will make
them sell well, and is creditable to the
| skill of D'Orsini.
