measures are omitted.

Analysis. — The first measure of this song comprises a rhythmic 

 unit, which occurs only twice but forms the basis of the rhythm of 

 the entire song. (See Nos. 94, 96, 103, 108, 109, 115, 123.) The 

 second measure contains the same division of the counts but is a 

 double instead of a triple measure and the rhythmic unit is unfin- 

 ished. The fourth and openmg of the fifth measure contam the same 

 division of the counts but with a change of accent. Five complete 

 renditions were recorded with seven repetitions of the latter half of 

 the song, the singer seeming to have no preference whether he began 

 at the first or at the middle phrase in giving the repetitions. This 

 peculiarity is occasionally noted in the performances of Chippewa 

 singers.
