harming addition to the
_repertoire_ of the amateur violinist. Specially tender and expressive
is No. 4. The piano shares with the violin both the difficulties and the
interests of each of the _morceaux_.

_Victoria Gavotte._ For piano. By Tito Mattei.--A capital piano piece.
We presume from the title that this is Signor Mattei's contribution to
the Jubilee Commemoration.

ROBERT COCKS AND CO.

_Gladys._ Rustic Dance. Composed for the pianoforte by Howard Talbot.--A
bright, telling piece. It would be very useful as an _entr'acte_ in your
Christmas charades.

_For Old Sake's Sake._ Song for contraltos. By Behrend.

W. MORLEY AND CO.

_Watching the Embers._ Song. Composed by Ciro Pinsuti to Weatherly's
words.--With a pretty refrain, but for the most part made up of a series
of common phrases. It is to be obtained in B flat, C, and D minors.

_Childie._ Song. By Behrend. Published in keys to suit all voices.--The
song is very similar to all his others. An old lady advising a child to
die young.

_The Biter Bit._ Song. Words and music by Henry Pontet.--A warning to
any who would marry for money, and not for love. In learning the above
three songs I am sure that singers will be as much distracted as I have
been by little squares like lottery coupons announcing that somebody
else's song cost L250. If this statement could appear elsewhere--say on
separate slips--the songs would be more pleasant to read.

HENRY KLEIN.

_The Land of Song._ Song for tenors and sopranos by that clever
composer, Franz Leideritz. Not so original as "Flowers from Home," the
memory of which still delights us.

ORSBORN AND TUCKWOOD.

_Sailing Across the Sea._ Song. By Vernon Rey.--Prettily told and easy
to learn.

_Merry Melodies._ A series of duets for two violins for schools and
classes, arranged by Arthur Graham. We see from the title-page that
there are to be arrangements of the works of eminent composers, but the
names are not given.

W. J. WILLCOCKS AND CO.

_Offertoire and Fugue in B flat._ _Grand Offertoire, founded upon
subjects in Schumann's Quintet, op. 44._--These are two finely-written
organ solos by George F. Vincent. Valuable additions to our stock of
English organ music.

MARRIOTT AND WILLIAMS.

_Twenty Miles to London Town._ Song. Written and composed by Gerald M.
Lane.--Mr. Lane is more fortunate in his music than in his words. The
ballad--for genuine English ballad it is--is of the "Bailiff's Daugh
