125 



Analysis. — This song cDntains three accidentals — tlie second, 

 third, and sixth lowered a semitone. The F natural was imjierfectly 

 given at the opening of the song but accurately sung in the latter 

 part. Three renditions of the song were recorded and the accidentals 

 were uniformly given though the intonation varied on several other 

 intervals. The rhythmic unit occurs six times, the prolonged tones 

 between the second and third occurrences of the unit being uniform 

 in the renditions.

Analysis. — Four renditions of this song were given, with a pause 

 between the second and third. Two weeks later the song was 

 recorded twice. The six records are identical except that in the 

 last two the tone E (last count, fifth measure from the close) was

 on the last count of the first measure was given with a sliding of the 

 voice wliich can not be accurately transcribed. 



It will be noted that the first five measures of the song constitute
