Analysis. — The intonation was wavering in both renditions of this 

 song. Drum and voice have the same metric unit, but the drum 

 mvariably precedes the voice. The rhythmic unit, which is short, 

 appears three times. No change of time (measure-lengths) occurs in 

 the melody. This is somewhat unusual, a majority of both Sioux 

 and Chippewa songs containing a change of time. (See Table 17A.)

Anahjsis. — Wide intervals cliaracterize this melody, one-fourth of 

 these being larger than a major third. The compass of 13 tones is 

 somewhat unusual. The song is major in tonality and is especially 

 lively and inspiring. All the tones of the octave are used except the 

 seventh. In structure the song is classified as melodic with harmonic 

 framework. The drumbeat is tremolo in the opening measures and 

 then clianges to the indicated rhythm, which was steadily maintained 

 in all the repetitions of the song.
