PUEBLO MUSIC<br />
Translation<br />
95<br />
The deer, the deer, here he went,<br />
Here are his tracks over mother earth, mother earth.<br />
Tramping, tramping through the deep forest with none to disturb him from<br />
above or below.<br />
Analysis.—The pitch was raised a semitone during the first seven measures<br />
<strong>of</strong> this song, the higher pitch being maintained to the end <strong>of</strong> the performance.<br />
Two rhythmic units are indicated, though the phrases diflfer in only one count.<br />
Closely resembling these are two measures before the second rhythmic unit <strong>and</strong><br />
the third <strong>and</strong> fourth measures <strong>of</strong> the repeated portion. The song lies entirely<br />
below the keynote, which is unusual. Almost half the intervals are semitones,<br />
occurring chiefly in descending progression, but a majority <strong>of</strong> the phrases end<br />
with an ascending semitone.<br />
The next song was never sung with a drum, the only ac<strong>com</strong>panying<br />
instrument being a gourd rattle. No information was obtained concerning<br />
this hunting-song.<br />
