Densmorg] PUEBLO MUSIC 67<br />
The next song is said to be very old. The native term for bee is<br />
napa (flower) juyu'de (fly). In the song a woman, grindmg corn,<br />
speaks to the bee. There is undoubtedly a poetry in the words which<br />
we miss in the translation.<br />

Analysis.—In this <strong>and</strong> in Nos. 43 <strong>and</strong> 58 the initial tone is preceded by a short*<br />
unaccented tone. An upward toss <strong>of</strong> the voice precedes the first tone as in a few<br />
other songs, but is not clear enough to be indicated in notation. The melody is<br />
in the typical form <strong>of</strong> the series. It is major in tonality, harmonic in structure,<br />
<strong>and</strong> has a <strong>com</strong>pass <strong>of</strong> 11 tones.
