Analysis. — In prominence of tlie fourth and the minor second this 

 song resembles No. 194. The proportion of fourths is about 22 per 

 cent, and of minor seconds about 36 per cent. A combination of 

 these two intervals is unusual. Next in number are the minor 

 thirds. The intonation is not good, yet in both renditions the flatted 

 fourth was clearly sung. Tlie song is minor in tonality and lacks 

 the seventh tone of the complete octave. It is melodic in structure 

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

 to tlie dominant below the tonic. 



This council song is similar in use to the preceding:
