Analysis. — This song is remarkable in its opening interval, which 

 was uniformly given in three renditions, the fourth rendition begin- 

 ning on the last part of the first measure. The song is melodic in 

 structure, has a range of 10 tones, and lacks the sixth and seventh 

 tones of the complete octave. This song was said to have been 

 recently composed.
