  The 
  following 
  musical 
  notation 
  presents 
  accurately 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  

   notes 
  employed 
  by 
  the 
  preceptor. 
  The 
  peculiarity 
  of 
  Mide' 
  songs 
  

   lies 
  in 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  each 
  person 
  has 
  his 
  own 
  individual 
  series 
  of 
  notes 
  

   which 
  correspond 
  to 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  syllables 
  in 
  the 
  phrase 
  and 
  add 
  

   thereto 
  meaningless 
  words 
  to 
  prolong 
  the 
  effect. 
  When 
  a 
  song 
  is 
  

   taught, 
  the 
  words 
  are 
  the 
  chief 
  and 
  most 
  important 
  part, 
  the 
  mu- 
  

   sical 
  rendering 
  of 
  a 
  second 
  person 
  may 
  be 
  so 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  

   the 
  person 
  from 
  whom 
  he 
  learns 
  it 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  unrecognizable 
  without
