Analysis.—The keynote of this song is considered to be E, the 
tonality is therefore major, yet the major third appears only once as 
a progression. The interval of a fourth is strongly in evidence, both 
as a progression and in the structure of the melody. A rhythmic 
unit occurs four times in succession, the two first occurrences being 
on the tone F sharp, E, B, and the second and third occurrences being 
on the tones B, G sharp, F sharp, after which the melody descends to 
B along lines which suggest the tonic chord. The portion of the 
melody included in measures 4 to 8 resembles numerous other Ute 
dances in its reiteration of a minor third (cf. Nos. 16, 42, 51). The 
tone material in this portion of the song is similar to that in No. 2. 
Other songs containing rests are noted in the analysis of No. 8, and 
other songs with connective phrase in the analysis of No. 7. 
The two songs next following were sung after the people sat down 
and before the tea was served, a pipe being passed among them at 
this time.
