Analysis. — This is a duplication of the preceding, and its struc- 

 ture is considered in the analysis of that song. The renditions hy 

 Kills-at-Night and his wife were recorded on two cyhnders, each 

 containing four renditions of the song. In every instance her voice 

 was silent during the opening measures, the point of entrance varying 

 one or two measures. Tlie transcription shows the earliest point of 

 entrance. The words, of course, are the same in hoth parts. 



The reason for twice recording this song by Kills-at-Night and his 

 wife was that in the first performance there was a suggestion of "part 

 singing," the wife holding a tone during the length of several tones 

 in his part and then singing the delayed words rapidly in order to 

 overtake him. The writer questio!ied the singers concenimg this 

 and asked whether they could repeat it. The woman said it was 

 unintentional on her part, as she had a "catch in her throat," and 

 the seven other renditions showed no trace of it. Much concerted 

 singing has been heard by the writer. In this the women invariably 

 sing an octave above the men, the note values being identical.
