Analysis.—Considering F to be the keynote of this song, we find 
the tone material to comprise the keynote, third, and fourth. The 
structure of the song shows, however, what has been termed an 
“interval-formation”’ rather than a key-relation of the several tones. 
(See Bull. 53, pp. 7, 8.) Thus the first portion, and in every instance 
the rhythmic unit, is on the fifth (B flat-F), while the middle and 
closing measures are on the minor third (F—A flat). The intervals 
are larger than in a majority of these songs, about one-fourth of 
them being fifths. The major second comprises only about one- 
sixth of the total number. Drum and voice have the same time 
unit, but because of slight variations in tempo they seldom coincide 
for more than a few measures.
