Analysis. — The character of this melody would seem to mdicate 

 that it is an old song and is correctly sung. The rhythmic unit is 

 wcU defined and has an evident influence on the rhythm of the song 

 as a whole. More than half the intervals are minor thirds, and only 

 four mtervals larger than a minor third appear in the song. The ascent 

 of a seventh is somewhat unusual. This ascending interval is found 

 only 9 times in the 2,864 intervals of Chippewa songs and 13 times 

 in the present series. This song is melodic in structure, has a range 

 of nme tones, and contains all tones of the complete octave. 



See plot of this. melody on page 419.
