The singer of this and the following song is a 

 woman whose personality is unique and interest- 

 ing." 



Analysis. — It is impossible to indicate by any 

 notation the peculiar nuances of this singer. A 

 slight prolonging of certain tones gives the songs 

 a fascinating effect, heightened by a slight glis- 

 sando. The songs are also sung with the nasal 

 quality affected by the Chippewa when singing 

 love songs. 



Attention is directed to the fact that this, like many other Chippewa 

 love songs, has a slow metric unit. 



Song picture no. 75. The 

 power of the love charm is 

 shown by the manner In 

 which the woman attracts 

 the man, who appears 

 rather reluctant.
