Analysis. — This is a serenade song of the Wliite Horse Riders, 

 the present words being substituted for words formerly used. The 

 man who recorded this song is a leader among the middle-aged 

 singers of the tribe. The keynote appears to be G, and the tone- 

 material is therefore that of the fourth five-toned scale, but the 

 second is sharped in every occurrence. The interval of an augmented 

 second occurs tliree times and was sung with good intonation. This 

 interval is found also in two other songs. (See Nos. 63, 106.) The 

 interval of a semitone appears seven times in this melody, and the 

 minor third forms 47 per cent of the entire number of intervals. 

 About two-thirds of the intervals are downward progressions.
