DENSMORE | NORTHERN UTE MUSIC 149 
Analysis.—Several renditions of this song were recorded and show 
no material variation. This is interesting to note, as the two rhythmic 
units differ only in the division of the final count. The song is on the 
fourth five-toned scale and has a compass of an octave. The fourth 
is a prominent interval, comprising more than a fourth of the entire 
number of progressions. ‘The association of this interval with songs 
concerning motion has been frequently noted. This song resembles 
the song next following so closely as to suggest an unintentional 
duplication.

Analysis ——Between the renditions of this song there was sung a 
brief connective phrase which is represented in the transcription by 
two half notes, but which was sung with various divisions of the

frequently break the ascent of an octave in repeating a song. This 
is contrasted with the customs of the Sioux and Chippewa, who fre- 
quently make the direct ascent of an octave or a twelfth in repeating a 
song. Songs having a connective phrase are noted in the analysis of 
No.7. This song is divided rhythmically into two parts, which are alike 
except for the fifth measure. It will be readily noted that no measure 
corresponding to this appears after the rhythmic units in the second 
portion of the song. Another slight difference is that the first part 
ends in 3-4 and the second in 2-4 time. The tempo of the drum was 
not strictly maintained, but was slightly slower than the voice 
throughout the renditions. The melody is on the fourth five-toned
