Analysis. — The four recorded renditions of this song are identical 

 in all respects except that in one instance D instead of B was sung 

 on the last count of the first measure. This is unimportant except 

 that it is the only variation. At the close of the second rendition 

 is recorded the peculiar whistle described in connection with the pre- 

 ceding song. There is no perceptible secondary accent in the meas- 

 ures marked, respectively, 7-4 and 5-4. The rhythmic unit com- 

 prises three measures and occurs four times. The measures in 3-4 

 time were sung with a slightly slower metric unit than those in 7-4 

 time. The melody is particularly striking and forceful.
