Analysis. — This song is particularly rhythmic. The unit of rhythm 

 is in double time and is repeated once, followed by a section in triple 

 time in which is noted the triplet in the first count of the measure 

 which characterized the rhythmic unit. The song is minor in tonality 

 and contains a whole tone between 7 and 8 (see Nos. 9, 50, 85, 100, 

 119). 



Moccasin Game Songs 



This and the following song are ordinary songs of the gamo, and 

 no dream origin is attributed to them (compare Nos. 103, 104).
