21§ 



This song is really an example of syllabic but not musical prelude. Con- 

 nectives are entirely obscured by the refrains or are absent, although there are 

 similar situations in the two measures which precede the refrains and the final 

 refrain measures. The lengthening of the refrain in each part is one of the most 

 interesting features, for in few other songs is so large a use made of extensions 

 and repetitions. Some of them are very interesting. The combination of the 

 A and B phrases at the end gives a nice artistic touch and finish to the whole, 

 that would be worthy of more advanced musicians. The song begins on the 

 fifth degree of the major, or minor seventh of the minor, on the first beat of the 

 measure, and ends on the same tone, but this is not the level in so persistent a 

 fashion as in most of the songs.
