No. 120. Record IV. G. Ic 



There is no form in this example and its tonality is but poorly established. 

 The play between the second, fourth and sixth degrees is disconcerting to 

 European ears and not often encountered in the music from this general region. 

 The song begins on the last half-beat of the measure, on the second degree of the 

 scale and ends on the fifth. In the exceedingly fine rhythmic values and the 

 dotted notes we are reminded of the music from Point Hope, Alaska, which will 

 'm>n be taken up, but the movement is comparatively slow, for the quarter 

 note, at 80 M.M. is about the slowest tempo that we find among the Copper 

 Eskimos, and on the whole their songs move in more leisurely fashion than do 

 these of the Mackenzie.
