Analysis.—All the tones of the octave occur in this song, which is 
minor in tonality and melodic in structure. The opening tone is 
the seventh, followed by a descending fourth sung glissando. This 
is an unusual opening but is uniform in the four renditions of the 
song. About 65 per cent of the progressions are thirds, though the 
fourth is prominent in the first part of the song. The rhythmic unit 
is short and in itself uninteresting, but the triple measures give 
variety and character to the rhythm of the song as a whole. The 
tempo of the song is unusually slow.
