The Music entirely New." [The <i>Westminster Magazine</i> for March commented: "This poem is said to be written by a young gentleman of <i>Oxford</i>, and has many strokes of genius and inagination in it. The music, we hear, is composed by $Mr Linley Jr=, who has (since his return from <i>Italy</i>) been a student under that most excellent musician $Dr Boyce=. This composition must be allowed to be an extraordinary effort of genius in so young a man. The Fugue of the overture is masterly. The song of '<i>There in old Arden's inmost shade</i>,' is well suited to the scene described by the poet....But what we think most deserving of praise is the power our young composer has shown in the chorusses....From the general and sincere applause with which the Ode was received, we may venture to pronounce, that if Mr Linley Jr pursues his studies, he will one day stand foremost in the list of modern composers."]
