Analysis. — In harmonic structure this song is similar to the 

 preceding, the first fourteen measures being based on the tones 

 of the minor triad with the minor seventh added, the sixteenth 

 measure containing lower E, the remainder of the song being com- 

 posed of the tones of the tonic triad. The last part of the song is 

 simpler than that of the preceding song, but the general character is 

 the same. It may be possible that both songs were composed by 

 the same man, this coming first in the order of composition. In this, 

 as in the preceding song, the last part was always sung in exact time. 



No. 118. "Manido' Listens to Me" (Catalogue no. 212) 



Sung by Ga^gandac^ 



Analysis. — This melody contains only the tones of the major triad 

 and sixth. The song was sung twice, the second rendition beginning 

 on the last count of the fourth measure, suggesting that the first 

 measures are an introduction. The custom of using an introduction 

 to the first rendition of a song has already been mentioned. In this 

 introduction the singer is allowed considerable freedom.
