Drum-rhythm similar to No. 18 
Analysis.—The time was not rigidly maintained in the renditions 
of this song, but the drum was persistently a little faster than the 
voice. The renditions differ very slightly, in some the second count 
of the first measure being omitted. It will be noted that this omis- 
sion makes the two parts of the song alike. The progressions are 
30 in number, 26 being minor thirds and 4 major thirds, yet G is the 
implied keynote of the melody. The song begins and ends on the 
same tone, which is unusual. (See No. 37.) Other songs containing 
rests are noted in the analysis of No. 8.

Analysis.—This is a very short melody, but is characteristic and 
strongly rhythmic. The only interval is the major second. (See 
No. 28.) The rest in the first measure was clearly defined. (See 
No. 8.) Seven renditions were recorded with no break in the time.
