Analysis. — This song is based on the fourth five-toned scale, has a 

 range of nine tones, and is melodic in structure. Twenty-eight pro- 

 gressions are downward and 21 are upward, these numbers being 

 more nearly equal than in most of the songs under analysis. The 

 tones transcribed as A natural and A sharp were clearly distinguished, 

 the tone transcribed as A sharp being even sung a trifle above the 

 proper pitch. The song contains a change of tempo. (See song 

 No. 5.)
