Analysis. — This melody is based on tlie minor triad A-C-E, though 

 D and G frequently appear as accented tones. The song has a com- 

 pass of 12 tones, beginning on the twelfth, and descending steadily to 

 the tonic along the tones of the second five-toned scale. It is minor 

 in tonality, and about one-third of the intervals are minor thirds. 

 The intonation was particularly good in this and the following song 

 by the same sing(n'. Three renditions were recorded, wliich are uni- 

 form throughout.
