Songs of the Copper Eskimos 



235 



Here the song is so interrupted that an analysis is impossible as traces of 

 the phrases appear only here and there. An inspection of the music will serve 

 better than descriptions.

 but it is on the first beat. The last tone is equally uncertain but is only a step 

 higher than the beginning and these two tones are the general level of the song.
