Analysis.—The rhythmic structure of this song is interesting. 
Two rhythmic units occur, the first containing three and the second 
two counts. After a repetition of the first rhythmic unit we note 
a measure suggesting the second unit, followed by a measure resem- 
bling the first unit, this, in turn, followed by the second unit and its 
repetition. The first unit reappears and is followed by a measure 
bearing resemblances to both units, the song closing with three 
repetitions of the second unit. This intelligent use of thematic 
material indicates a degree of musical cultivation among the Utes. 
The melody has a compass of an octave and contains all the tones 
of the octave except the seventh. Whole tones comprise 84 per cent 
of the progressions. (See No. 28.)
