Analysis. — This song contains two sections, the latter parts of 

 which are aUke. Words are found in the second but not in the 

 first. There are in the song 65 progressions, almost 62 per cent 

 of which are minor thirds and major seconds. Two renditions 

 were recorded, which are alike in every respect. The song has a com- 

 pass of 12 tones, and contains all the tones of the octavo except the 

 second. A phrase consisting of two eighth notes followed by a 

 quarter note appears frequently, but is not marked as a rhythmic 

 unit because it characterizes the song less than the dotted eighth 

 and sixteenth count-division, which occurs in various combinations
