TETON SIOUX MUSIC 



831 



Analysis. — This song contains an unusual number of progressions. 

 There are 52 intervals in the song. It has been stated* that the aver- 

 age numb(>r of progressions in comparatively modern songs is 31.3. 

 Thirty (.58 per cent) of these intervals are thirds, 18 being major 

 and 12 behig minor thirds. It is interesting to note the large number 

 of mmor thirds in a song which is distinctly major in tonahty; these 

 mtervals, however, arc usually part of the tonic triad, which forms 

 the framework of the melody. Two rests are found in the song. 

 (See No. 79.) The two renditions show no points of difference, the 

 small count-divisions being clearly given. Drum and voice have the 

 same metric unit and were coincident.
