CHIPPEWA MUSIC II 



283 



Analysis. — This song has the slow voice-rhythm which character- 

 izes the nioccasm game songs and which is noted also in Nos. 30, 51, 52, 

 103. The melody comprises the tones of the fourth five- toned scale 

 and is harmonic in structure. Although the song is major in tonality 

 a large majority of the intervals are minor thirds. The song contains 

 24 melodic progressions, 17' (71 per cent) of which are minor thirds, 

 7 being ascending and 10 descending intervals (see Nos. 140, 141, 

 151, 163). There is no rhythmic unit, but the division of the first 

 count of the measure recurs with frequency (see Nos. 152, 153, 157, 

 159, 163).

Analysis. — The tempo of this song is so rapid that it was necessary 

 to reduce the speed of the phonograph in order to detect the metric 

 unit and indicate the note-values. The rhythm was given uniformly 

 in the two renditions of the song, showing that it was clear in the mind 

 of the singer. The fourth is the principal interval of progression 

 (see No. 22).
