"In the composition of this unaffected and graceful trio (which is inscribed to those excellent professors of the vocal art, Sig. and Mad. Ferrari), Mr. Randegger has shown not only the melodic gift, and the knowledge of how to write effectively for voices, but a thorough proficiency in the art of combination, and, as it were, a dramatic spirit, which might win favour for an opera from his pen. Each voice (tenor, basso and soprano). in the order in which they enter, has an effective solo, followed by an ensemble (or 'tutti') for the three voices in the major key (the trio begins in C minor), the whole terminating with a coda, sotto voce,' the effect of which, if smoothly rendered by three good singers, must be as charming as it is new. The more of such 'terzettinos' the better."-MUSICAL WORLD. LONDON: DUNCAN DAVISON & CO., 244 Regent Street, W. Just Published, price 3s. Melodia. Musica di E. MECATTI..

THE VOICE AND SINGING (THE FORMATION AND CULTIVATION OF THE VOICE FOR SINGING), By ADOLFO FERRARI "The chief value of this excellent treatise on the art and practice of singing is in the elaborate chapter upon the formation and cultivation of the voice, which precedes the practical exercises. Signor Ferrari alleges that "every one who can speak may sing," and he discusses this fact not only with great intelligence but with excellent common sense. As a teacher of long and varied experience he speaks with authority, and the rules he lays down for the development of the vocal organs may be consulted with advantage by all students of the art of singing. His book, in short, labours to overcome the two leading difficulties which beset the scholar, viz., the production of the natural or real tone of the voice, and the proper management of the breath.”Observer.

The songs before us have already attained a well-merited popularity. The monks were jolly boys' is as racy as the best of the old English ditties, harmonised with equal quaintness and skill, and thoroughly well suited to the voice of Herr Formes. The love you've slighted still is true' (for Mlle. Jenny Baur) has a melody of charming freshness. Not less a model ballad in its way is A young and artless maiden' (for Herr Reichardt), which sets out with an elegantly melodious phrase. Perhaps more to our liking, however, than any of the foregoing, excellent and genuine as they are, is Love is a gentle thing' (for Miss Emma Heywood), which enters the more refined regions of the ballad-school, and attains an expression as true as it is graceful.
