Analysis —FEight renditions of this song were recorded, differing 
only in that the first phrase was omitted in two renditions and that 
one had a slightly different ending. There was no break in the time 
between the renditions, which is somewhat unusual in this series. 
Repetitions of the rhythmic units comprise the entire song, the second 
occurrence of each unit beginning with a slightly different count- 
division than the first. The song is minor in tonality and progresses 
chiefly by minor thirds, which constitute more than half the entire 
number of intervals.

Analysis —This is a bright, lively melody, major in tonality and 
containing all the tones of the octave except the seventh. Seven 
renditions were recorded without a break in the time. The descent 
of an octave in the second measure is interesting and the movement 
of the entire melody is broader than in a majority of the present 
series of songs.
