Analysis. — Tlie closing tone in this song is a fourth above the 

 lowest tone of the melody. This is somewhat miusual, the final 

 tone generally being also the lowest tone. The song is characterized 

 by the minor tliird, which forms more than half the number of inter- 

 vals. The melody tones are those of the second five-toned scale. 

 The song has a compass of an octave and is melodic in structure. 

 Two renditions were recorded, which show no points of difference. 



In connection with Type C, on page 53, it is noted that a recurrence 

 of accent on the lowest tone, usually the keynote, appears associated 

 with the idea of firmness and stability of character. A contrast to 

 this is afforded by the plot of this song (fig. 42).
