TETON SIOUX MUSIC

kighag' then

Analysis. — This melody contains the tones of the fourth five-toned 

 scale and has a compass of an octave, extending from the dominant 

 above the tonic to the dominant below the tonic. Of the progressions 

 61 per cent are major seconds, and about one-fourth are major 

 thirds. The wider intervals comprise two intervals of a fourth and 

 one ascending fifth. In structure the song is melodic. It is a lively 

 melody and particularly rhythmic, though the rhythmic unit is found 

 only twice.

Analysis. — ^A comparison of the rhytlim of this and the rendition 

 of the same song by Two Shields (No. 151) is of special interest. It 

 will be seen that the same rhythmic unit occurs in both renditions, 

 though not always on the same phrase of the song.
