Analysis.—Voice and drum have the same time unit in this song, 
the drum in unaccented eighth notes continuing steadily through the 
double and triple measures of the melody. The tonic chord is 
prominent in the structure of the song, which begins on the dominant 
in the upper octave and ends on the dominant in the lower octave. 
Only one other song (No. 72) of this series begins in 3-8 time.

Analysis.—The tonic chord is prominent in the structure of this 
song, which, like the preceding song, begins and ends on the dominant. 
An unaccented half note occurs four times but does not form part of 
a rhythmic unit. Forty-three per cent of the progressions are semi- 
tones, a proportion which is unusual in analyzed Indian songs. 
This transcription is from the last of several renditions which show 
some slight points of difference.
