SACRED MUSIC.

BOSTON HANDEL AND HAYDN SOCIETY-BOSTON ACADEMY OF
MUSIC.-L. MASON-G. J. WEEB-C. ZEUNER.
Singing Schools, Choirs and Congregations supplied with the following_popular
Works, by the Publishers, WILKINS, CARTER, & CO., 16 Water Street, on
the most liberal terms.

1. THE BOSTON ACADEMY'S COLLECTION, Edited by L. Mason. This standard work is so extensively known and used as to preclude the necessity of any recommendation.

2. CARMINA SACRA, or, Boston Collection of Church Music, by L. Mason, being a work in almost universal use and greatly admired for the beauty, chasteness and sterling character of its music.

3. THE PSALTERY, being the late collection of Church Music, by L. Mason and G. J. Webb, consisting of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Anthems, &c., designed for Singing Schools and Choirs, and being one of the most complete works of the kind ever published. The Psaltery is the latest work of these authors, and being worthy of all commendation, has received the sanction of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society and the Boston Academy of Music. It contains much music that is entirely new in this country, including many fine tunes by Mr. Charles Zeuner, now first published. In style there is great diversity, it being suited to every variety of subject and occasions. The music generally being set within the range of ordinary voices, is especially adapted to congregational use, and may be sung without that unnatural exertion so often required in singing the praises of God. The Psaltery will make a valuable addition to the Boston Academy's Collection and Carmina Sacra, and ought to be in every choir.

4. THE "BOOK OF CHANTS," consisting of Chanting Music, adapted to regular Hymns aud to selections from the Scriptures. By L. Mason.

5. THE BOSTON ANTHEM BOOK, being a collection of the best Anthems and other set pieces, for Societies and Choirs. By L. Mason.
