Analysis.—A broad sweep characterizes this melody, in contrast to the game<br />

songs <strong>of</strong> other tribes which are small in <strong>com</strong>pass <strong>and</strong> simple in progressions.<br />

This melody has a <strong>com</strong>pass <strong>of</strong> 12 tones, spanned by 4 ascending intervals in the<br />

9th <strong>and</strong> 10th measures. The melody ascends 11 tones by 3 intervals in the<br />

fourth <strong>and</strong> fifth measures. An ascending seventh followed by a descending<br />

fifth occurs twice. The tone material is that <strong>of</strong> the fourth 5-toned scale <strong>and</strong><br />

the melody lies partly above <strong>and</strong> partly below the keynote.
