CHIPPEWA MUSIC— II 



261 



Analysis. — In this song the signature of the transcription should 

 be regarded as indicatmg tlie pitch of certain tones and not as imply- 

 ing an established key. The transcription merely represents the 

 tones sung by the Indian singer. 



The framework of this melody is characterized by the interval of 

 the third. The first seven measures are based on the descending 

 thii'd F sharp-D sharp, with G sharp as a tone of approach (see analy- 

 sis of No. 53). This is followed by the descending thnds B-G sharp; 

 D sharp-B; B-G sharp, with a return to the third F sharp-D sharp, 

 with G sharp as a tone of approach. The second section of the song 

 has essentially the same framework. 



This song and the following five dream songs are said to have been 

 used by a Chippewa doctor during his treatment of the sick. (See 

 Bulletin 45, pp. 119, 120.)
