Analysis.—The monotonous introduction which precedes this song is<br />
characteristic<br />
<strong>of</strong> pueblo songs <strong>and</strong> is shown in a majority <strong>of</strong> the following transcriptions.<br />
(Cf. Densmore, 1926, p. 7; <strong>and</strong> Densmore, 1938, pp. 52 <strong>and</strong> 183.) A short<br />
rhythmic unit occurs throughout the melody <strong>and</strong> its count divisions are reversed<br />
in the 17th <strong>and</strong> 18th measures. All the tones <strong>of</strong> the octave except the seventh are<br />
present, <strong>and</strong> the ascending <strong>and</strong> descending intervals are about equal in number.<br />
The repeated portion was sung three times, the transcription being from its third<br />
rendition. Slight variations occur in the repetitions <strong>of</strong> the song, which are not<br />
important <strong>and</strong> cannot be shown in notation.<br />
