This Uttle song was unfortunately cut off before it was finished. It is said 

 to be a very ancient dance song, and displays some very musical features which 

 a,lso are interesting from a formal standpoint. The rhythmic similarity of each 

 phrase is due primarily to the words, but affords nice balance. The play in 

 melody between the last part of the a measure and the c measure and the 

 ■consistent skips of a fourth downward in the measures b, d and f, and of a third 

 -downward in a, c and e are worthy of mention. The song begins on the first beat, 

 on the fifth degree of the major scale or the flat seventh of the minor. It ends 

 on the tonic of the minor.
