Analysis. — ^Tlie cliangos of measure-lengths as well as the relative 

 temjio of voice and (U'um are interesting features of this song. Two 

 renditions were recorded, each with a repeated part, as indicated; 

 between the renditions was a pause, during which the drum con- 

 tinued its steady beat. The rliythm of the voice was uniform in 

 the two renditions. The measures contain mg six eighth notes are 

 not indicated as being in G-8 time, as they are in groups of two, and 

 not in triplets. Melodic in structure, the song contains all the tones 

 of the octave except the second. Ihe rhythmic unit appears twice, 

 but its count-divisions do not seem to influence the rhythm of the 

 remamder of the song.
