The rhythm in these measures is uncertain and can be only ap- 

 proximately indicated, but after the change of time the metric 

 unit is marked by the pulse of the measure beginning, which is very 

 regular. 



Before singing the second closing song the leader might say, "I 

 will now depart and announce that the feast is ended. "

Analysis. — The singing of this song was preceded by 

 very rapid drumming, the drum beats being in the value 

 of sixteenth notes, at ^=144 (two drumbeats to each beat 

 of the metronome at 144) ; with this rapid drumming the 

 ejaculatory ho lio lio Jio oi the Mide' was given. 



This song begins on the unaccented portion of the 

 measure, which is somewhat unusual. The melody begins 

 on the twelfth and follows the descending intervals of the fourth five- 

 toned scale. The harmonic basis is the same as in the preceding song, 

 but the use of the second as an accented tone places it (according to 

 our present classification) among the songs whose structure is melodic 

 rather than harmonic.
