Beazley,
R.A.M.--There is no such title as R.A.M. A.R.A.M. and M.R.A.M. we know,
but we must protest against this unlawful use of the name of our oldest
academy of music. The song is a stirring and dramatic account of how a
lost child was recovered by his mother. It is to be declaimed by a
contralto.
HUTCHINGS AND CO.
_The Christian's Armour._ Oratorio. By Joseph L. Roeckel; the text
compiled by Mrs. Alexander Roberts from Ephesians vi.; interspersed with
hymns from several sources.--A useful work for services of song or
chapel festivities. There is a sameness about the work, and it suggests
a weary feeling towards the close. The choruses are mostly rather weak
chorale. Occasionally an evidently fugal subject is announced, which is
never destined to form the subject for a fugue. However, the story is
well put together, the music is quite easy, and many choirs, unable to
conquer greater difficulties, will feel at home in this so-called
"oratorio."
_Six Morceaux de Salon._ Pour violin, avec accompagnement de piano. Par
Guido Papini. Op. 66.--The author of "La Mecanisme du jeune Violiniste"
has given us in these little pieces a charming addition to the
_repertoire_ of the amateur violinist.
