WORDS 



Nin^imd^ce My sweetheart 



MewiciV A long time 



Kibiin' I have been waiting for you 



Gibiic^ayun' To come over 



Imaai'ayan^ Where I am 



Analysis. — These words can be recognized on the phonograph 

 record, but are too indistinct to be readily transcribed. The chief 

 interest of the song Hes in the range of the singer's voice and in the fact 

 that the intonation is correct on both the highest and lowest notes. 

 The song was sung twice and the general progression of the melody is 

 duplicated accurately, though some of the note values vary.

Umbe^ Come 



Ni^mig Dance 



Analysis. — A decided syncopation in the last measures marks this 

 song as different from the others. The words are spoken rapidly on 

 a melodic tone, as though the dancer turned to some one sitting in 

 the circle and urged him to dance, without interrupting his own song.

Sung by Gi'wita^bines 

 Voice J- 100 



Drum Jrr 100 



( Drum -rhythm similar to No. Ill ) 



Analysis. — If this song were more exact in its repetitions, we might 

 attach more importance to its beginning with the chord of A minor 

 and ending with the chord of E minor.
