as well as a study of their use is interesting. It wiU be noted that 

 the firet three and the last two counts of the two units are alike. The 

 triplets of eighth notes were distinctly given. Two renditions of the 

 entire song were recorded, with a repetition of the part containing 

 the words. These showed no points of difference.

Analysis. — Two rhythmic units are found in this song, each appear- 

 ing twice. The larger part of the second unit also appears at the 

 close of the song, but a change of accent alters the phrase so mate- 

 rially that it is not marked as a repetition of the unit. One acci- 

 dental occurs — the seventh raised a semitone— this being an accidental 

 often found in songs of minor tonality. This melody is based on 

 the second five-tonpd scale and is harmonic in structure. One-third 

 of the intervals are minor thirds.

Analysis. — This is an excellent example of the modern Sioux love 

 song. Twenty-seven per cent of the intervals are minor thirds.
