Analysis —In common with a majority of these war songs, the 
present melody has an upward progression as its first interval. The 
most frequent interval is the minor third, yet the song has a wide 
melodic trend. No rhythmic unit occurs, but the count-divisions of 
the fifth and seventh measures give a rhythmic vigor to the song.
