in tonality. Two-thirds of the intervals are downward, as in the 
preceding song. The interval of a fourth is prominent in the struc- 
ture of the melody, though it appears only three times as a progres- 
sion, The tones are those of the minor triad and seventh (see No. 12).

Analysis—Five renditions of this song were recorded in 1916, 
the pitch, tempo, tone-values, and words being the same as in the 
renditions of 1912. The melody is somewhat more elaborate than the 
two preceding. It contains the tones of the fourth five-toned scale 
and in structure is melodic with harmonic framework. One-half the 
progressions are major seconds, the next in frequency being minor 
thirds. The rhythmic unit is clear and occurs four times with a_ 
partial repetition after the third phrase. |
