This song is sung by riders upon ponies, who go through the vilhige 

 summoning the people to the dance. With his usual conscientious 

 carefulness Ki'tclmak'wa sang this into the phonograph with the same 

 shakiness of voice which would be produced by riding on his pony. 



Analysis. — The interest of this example lies in the rhythm of the 

 song as a whole. One must have this in mind to appreciate how 

 well it expresses the scene and the action of the rider going his rounds 

 and summoning the people to the dance. Several renditions were 

 given ami the melody was accurately repeated. 



The song contains no rhythmic unit and the rhythm is remarkably 

 continuous throughout. There is no ''stopping place" in the mel- 

 ody, yet the song as a whole can not be said to constitute a rhythmic 

 unit; it simply reflects in its rhythm the motion of the pony and 

 the general gayety of the scene.
