resembles many other songs. Neither is the proportion of ascending 
and descending intervals unusual, there being 40 per cent of ascending 
and 60 per cent of descending progressions. But the song is minor in 
tonality with a special prominence of the subdominant. This is quite 
unusual and worthy of consideration by students. The melody tones 
are those of the second five-toned scale with the seventh sharped. 
The tonic chord appears as the framework of the melody. The 
ascent of an octave in the first measure and the beginning and ending 
on the same tone are noted in the analysis of No. 37. A short con- 
nective phrase was sung between the renditions. (See No. 7.)

Analysis.—Throughout the renditions of this song the intonation 
on the descending minor third was faulty, yet the fourth and octave 
were sung with good intonation. The fourth constitutes about one- 
third of the progressions. The song is harmonic in structure and 
contains the tones of the major triad and fourth. (Concerning the 
use of a connective phrase see No. 7.)
