MUSICAL NOTES.
I have just received Florian Pascal's Music composed for Tra la la Tosca, published by Joseph Williams of Berners Street. Justice was not done to it on the stage at the Royalty, but there are two morçeaux in it which ought to become popular; one being a song entitled "Her Eye," which, were it wedded to serious words, would be highly popular as a contralto song, just as Sullivan's charming "Hush a bye Bacon," in Cox and Box, became "Birds of the Night." Then the Gavotte in this book is as graceful and catching as the Gavotte de Louis Treize, and would be in great request with orchestras and bands everywhere.
