SONGS NOS. 61—66 
Analysis.—These songs will be analyzed collectively, since, like 
the preceding group, they are the property of an individual and all 
pertain to one subject. In the preceding group a majority of the 
songs are major in tonality and begin with an upward progression. 
In this group of six songs five are major in tonality and four begin 
with an ascending interval. The keynote is the final tone in all 
the songs. Five begin with a 2-4 measure-division, a peculiarity 
which occurred in seven of the nine songs in the previous group 
recorded by Pa’gitSs. None are harmonic in structure, though in 
four songs there is an evident harmonic feeling. It is interesting to 
note that the first three songs are in tempo J=58, which was the 
tempo of two-thirds of Pa’git’’s songs. These, like his, are char- 
acterized by the interval of a fourth and a major second, about 17 
per cent of the intervals being fourths and 60 per cent being major 
seconds. As these intervals do not characterize the entire material 
analyzed by the writer, it is interesting to find them in both groups 
of songs used in treating the sick. The interval of a fourth, as fre- 
quently stated, has been found to characterize songs concerning 
motion, and ae major second is usually a passing tone. In these 
two songs it occurs most commonly as an ascending followed by a 
descending progression. 
A rhythmic unit occurs in all the songs recorded by this singer 
and was present in all but one of the songs recorded by Pa/gits. In 
the first three of the present group (Nos. 61-63) the Pattee unit is 
characterized by a count-division of two eighth notes, this being the 
only count-division in the unit of No. 61. In Nos. 64 and 65 we 
find a unit comprising two quarter notes followed by a half note, 
but in No. 65 there is a second unit having a slightly different count-
