GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK
Philadelphia, March 1850

NEW MUSIC.

FROM Messrs. Lee & Walker, 169 Chestnut Street, we have received the following: –

Saucy Kate. A ballad. Words by Lawrence Seckel. Music by W. P. Cunnington.

'Tis Sad to Part. Arranged for piano forte. By J. C. Beckel.

The Shoemaker. A comic song. Written by Miss H. F. Gould. Music by J. C. Beckel.

The American Glee Book. No. 1. By J. C. Beckel.

Mr. Edward L. Walker, No. 160 Chestnut Street, has sent us the following new publications: –

The celebrated Tambourine Dance and Polka. By Master Ole Bull. Familiar to all those who have heard the New Orleans Serenaders.

Barnum's Polka, Schottish Polka, and Chestnut Street Polka. We have heretofore noticed these pieces, by our favorite, Mr. Bellak, who is rapidly winning his way to an enviable eminence among composers.

No joy I'll see but in those smiles. A song. Words by Joseph A. Nunes. Music by James Bellak.

Dearest, this heart beats only for thee. Romanza, by Felix Dorigo.

Jeannette and Jeannot. A new and correct edition. It is illustrated by a beautiful engraving, that adds to the attraction of the piece itself.

Jeannie Gray. A ballad. Words by J. M. Church, Esq. Music by Charles Mueller. Last, but by no means least, comes this beautiful song – beautiful not only in the words, in which our friend Church has done himself justice, and in the music, which is in the best style of the talented author, but the engraving which graces the title-page is the most elegant thing we ever saw on a piece of music. It is excellently engraved and elegantly colored, and is an ornament to any music book.

Messrs. E. Fertett & Co., No. 40 South Eighth Street, have sent us a number of their new and cheap pieces. It is a wonder to us how they can afford to get them up so neatly for the price they ask. The following are all good: –

The Belle of the South. A brilliant waltz. By Carl Lobe. This will be found a good and pleasant study.

IL Brindisi. From Lucrezia Borgia. The favorite air, arranged as a brilliant rondo, by F. Burgmuller.

Strauss Polka. First rate.

Marriage Polka. By H. E. B. Very good.

Farmhill Waltz. By Charles Repo An admirable and easy waltz.

Sister, since I met thee last. Words by Mrs. Hemans. Music by Matthias Keller.

Cheer up, my own Jeannette. Composed by Charles W. Glover. It seems intended as a companion far the favorite " Jeannette and Jeannot," and should be bound up with it.

In this old chair. From the "Maid of Honor." Music by Balfe. Almost equal to the "Old Arm Chair."
