Analysis. — The three recorded renditions of this song are uniform 

 in every respect, the repetitions begiianrng with correct intonation 

 and without break in the tinie. Tlie opening measures in 5-4 tune 

 contain no secondary accent and are readily distinguishable from the 

 triple measure followed by a double measure, wliich occurs later in 

 the song. Attention is especially directed to the progressions m the 

 fifth measure; these intervals were correctly sung, the accidental 

 being given firmly and accurately. The song is transcribed m the 

 key of C minor, but the fifth of that key does not occur in it. 



This song was followed by a dancing song, the oc'kabe'wis signaling 

 all to rise and dance.
