Analysis.—Four renditions of this song were recorded and in them 
all occur the changes of tempo indicated in the transcription. The 
first of the slower phrases is on a tone which appears to have little 
relation to the rest of the melody, but this tone was persistent in the 
several renditions. Two rhythmic units occur, having the same 
division of the first count but differmg in the remaining portion. 
The fourth is a prominent interval, comprising 25 per cent of the 
entire number. (See No. 3.) Attention is directed to the ascent of 
a ninth, midway through the song. Reference to Table 12 on 
page 41 will show this to be an unusual progression. The song is 
melodic in structure and contains the tones of the second five-toned 
scale. Other songs contamimg rests are noted in the analysis of 
No. 8, Other songs contaming a change of tempo are Nos. 76 and 99.
