Analysis.—The rhythmic structure of this song is worthy of special 
attention. The first two measures were sung only once, after which 
the remainder of the song as transcribed was sung four times, the 
last rendition ending at the double bar. An introductory phrase is 
rarely used in Ute songs, though appearing frequently in the songs 
of the Chippewa. Other songs of this series containing a connective 
phrase are noted in the analysis of No. 7. In all the renditions of 
this song the count divisions were as indicated. The song comprises 
two rhythmic periods which resemble each other yet show enough 
difference to give variety and character to the song as a whole. The 
first period comprises the third, fourth, and fifth measures, and the 
second comprises the three following measures. A comparison of 
these will show the variations. The song has a compass of 11 tones 
and contains the major triad and second. The whole tone is the 
chief interval of progression (see No. 24). Although the song is 
major in tonality, the major third does not appear as a progression.
