Analysis. — Three renditions of this song were recorded, the time 

 being interrupted between the renditions. The song is unusual 

 in that it contains no interval smaller than a minor third. It is 

 characterized by the interval of a fourth, 58 per cent of the intervals 

 being fourths. The melody contains only the tones of the minor 

 triad, a tone material found in only three other songs of this series. 

 Eight tones comprise the compass of the song, which is harmonic 

 in structure. In every instance the two rhythmic units were sung 

 as transcribed, the last count of the second unit bemg different from 

 that of the first. The tempo of the drum was slightly faster than 

 that of the voice. See plot of this melody on page 419.
