Analysis. — This is an instance in which the sharps at the beginning 

 of the transcription should be regarded as indicating the pitch of 

 certain tones rather than as implying an established key. Thus the 

 song is transcribed as in the key of E major although the third of 

 that key does not appear. The principal chords of the key of E 

 accompany the melody in a satisfactory manner and the tones F 

 sharp, C sharp, and D sharp are found in the melody.

Analysis. — This song is characterized by the approach to an har- 

 monic tone by means of the tone above it. The melody tones are 

 those of the fourth five-toned scale and the trend of the song is an 

 almost unbroken descent. Four renditions were recorded, which are 

 uniform in every respect.
