DENSMORE ] NORTHERN UTE MUSIC 83 
Analysis.—The transcription of this song is from the fourth ren- 
dition. An interesting variation in previous renditions is that 
measures 5, 9, and 14 are frequently changed from double to triple 
measures by a repetition of the first count. The rest midway through 
the song was given distinctly in all the renditions. For other songs 
containing rests see No. 8. With three exceptions the progressions 
are thirds and major seconds, yet the melody has a range of 13 tones. 
The song is major in tonality and contains all the tones of the octave 
except the seventh.

Analysis.—A descending progression of a fourth constitutes almost 
25 per cent of the intervals in this song. (See No. 3.) No rhythmic 
unit is present, although an eighth-note division is of frequent occur- 
rence. The song is minor in tonality, melodic in structure, and 
lacks the second tone of the complete octave. The drumbeat was 
in quarter-note values, the strokes being of equal force.
