Analysis.—This song, like many others of the present series, pro- 
gresses chiefly by whole tones (see No. 28), yet it is a melody with 
abundant variety and interest. In structure it is melodic and con- 
tains the tones of the major triad and second. The drum is slightly 
faster than the voice and its tempo was steadily maintained. A 
rhythmic unit occurs six times in the song.

Fic. 14.—Plots, Group 11 (War songs) 
While a few of the war songs show the ordinary type of steadily 
descending trend broken *by one or two ascending progressions, we 
find that about one-half of them contain a wideness of interval which 
has not been note* *n any group of songs previously plotted.
