V. 4. pt. 2. A""' 



d ? 





This song is renaarkably regular in every particular but both rhythm and 

 number of measures in a group are upset here and there. The four-phrase 

 refrain is unusual and very effective against the one-phrase verse. While the 

 verse phrase is hardly divisible into sections, the refrain phrases B, C, D, E, 

 might be regarded as sections, B and C being complementary and thus forming 

 one phrase, D and E making another. Each verse part would then have three 

 six-measure phrases, one for the verse and two for the refrain. The comple- 

 mentary nature of the B and C, D and E phrases is so clear and each is so 

 complete in itself, however, that I have marked them individually. The song 

 begins on the third degree, if the tonality is regarded as major, on the first beat 

 of the measure, and ends on the same tone on the finishing of the refrain. This 

 is the general level.
