Analysis.—Two rhythmic units occur in this song, the second 
appearing to be an elaboration of the first. The opening and closing 
measures contain phrases which resemble but do not repeat the 
rhythmic unit. The principal interval is the minor third, which con- 
stitutes more than 60 per cent of the progressions. All the tones of 
the octave occur in the song, which is harmonic in structure. Drum 
and voice are synchronous.
