Analysis. — The rhythmic unit of this song occurs five times in the 

 opening measures and is followed by a six-measure phrase, which is 

 repeated at the close of the song. In this phrase we fuid part 

 of the unit with a change of accent, the dotted eighth note falling on 

 an unaccented instead of on an accented count. The melody is 

 broadly outlined by two intervals of a fourth, B flat-E flat, and E 

 flat-A flat. (See analysis of No. 22.) The song is minor in tonality 

 and contains the progression 8-7-8; this is particularly effective, 

 sho\\dng the interval of a whole tone, which is found between seven 

 and eight in the second five-toned scale (see Nos. 9, 50, 100, 119, 124). 

 The drum is slightly faster than the voice and seems constantly 

 hurrying it forward.
