Analysis.—The rhythm of this song was accurately jopeutadl in 
the three renditions except in the measure before the last, in which 
the note-values often were given as four eighth notes. The rhythmic 
form is irregular but coherent. Two rhythmic units occur, the first 
comprising one measure and the second nine measures. The song 
is minor in tonality, begins and ends on the dominant, and lacks 
the seventh and second tones of the complete octave. In structure 
it is melodic with harmonic framework, the tonic chord being strongly 
in evidence. Thirty-seven progressions occur, about two-thirds of 
which are descending intervals.
