Analysis. — This song is divided into three rhytliniic periods, the 

 third of which differs shghtly from the others in the division of the 

 opening measure. The tempo was shghtly slower on the word 

 sito'mniyaij, but not sufficiently so to bo indicated. Three renditions 

 were recorded, which are alike in every respect. The melody tones 

 are those of the minor triad and fourth, and the song has a compass 

 of 12 tones. Only five intervals occur which are larger than a minor 

 third, yet the melody is interesting and not lacking in vigor.
