Analysis.—The drumbeat of this song is similar to that of the 
preceding song, during which the people danced. The song had the 
unusual range of 15 tones and is based on the fourth five-toned scale. 
Two renditions were recorded without variation. This is interesting, 
as three rhythmic units occur, the first and third closely resembling 
each other. The eighth measure contains a reversal of the count- 
divisions of the second rhythmic unit, in a triple measure. As has 
been noted, a measure of this sort frequently gives a certain balance 
to the rhythm of a song as a whole.
