PARADE SONGS 
In former times if the Utes were gathered in a large camp a 
“parade” took place every morning. Such a parade was noted 
in the description of the Sun dance (p. 80). Both men and women 
were on horseback, the men preceding the women. At the head of 
the procession rode two leaders side by side, beating on hand drums, 
while all the company sang the Parade songs. These songs were 
numerous and popular. 
CHARACTERISTICS OF SONGS 
The principal characteristic of Parade songs is an ornamentation 
comprising small note values. Examples of this occur in Nos. 84, 
87, 89, 90, and 93. These did not vary in the repetitions of the song. 
About half the songs contain no rhythmic unit, showing the rhythmic 
feeling to be less than the melodic. With one exception the Parade 
songs are major in tonality. The compass is unusually large, all the 
songs having a range of an octave or more than an octave. Only one 
song is harmonic in structure, and a majority begin with a downward 
progression.
