DENSMORE] NORTHERN UTE MUSIC 141 
The plots of this class of songs among the Ute do not show the 
emphasis on the lowest tone which prevailed in similar songs among 
the Sioux. (See Bull. 61, p. 283.) 
Considering first the songs recorded by Pa’gitS (singer No. 11), 
we find Nos. 52-55 to be singularly uniform in type, characterized 
by a downward trend, with only one or two ascending progressions. 
This uniformity suggests steadiness and control. In Nos. 59 and 60 
the outline changes to larger progressions and an evident emphasis 
on the lowest tone. It will be recalled that Nos. 59 and 60 were 
sung after the sick person had been somewhat restored by the action 
of the medicine man. 
Throughout the plots of the songs recorded by Mrs. Washington 
(singer No. 25) there appears a resemblance, but the outlines them- 
selves are not of a decided type. The range is much wider than in 
the songs recorded by Pa’gitS and the lowest tone is used more 
frequently as an accented tone. Four of her songs (two-thirds of 
the number) begin with an ascending progression.
