Analysis. — Tliis melody is minor in tonality and contains all the 

 tones of the octave. It has a compass of 13 tones. In structure it 

 is melodic with harmonic framework, special prominence being given 

 the tones B and F. The principal interest of the song is in its rhythm, 

 which is vigorous and W(>11 defined. Two rhythmic units occur, 

 the second being a complement or "answering phrase" to the first. 

 There is no change of tempo in the melody. After singing the song as 

 transcribed, the part indicated as a repeat was sung three times with 

 no break in the time.
