Analysis.—Two rhythmic units occur in this song. The first rhythmic unit<br />
occurs in both double <strong>and</strong> triple measures in the opening period <strong>and</strong> is repeated<br />
near the close <strong>of</strong> the song. The second rhythmic unit is long <strong>and</strong> occurs only<br />
in the second period. The descending 16th notes in this unit were sung with a<br />
sliding <strong>of</strong> the voice which cannot be shown in notation. The song is based on<br />
the second (minor) 5-toned scale, is harmonic in structure, <strong>and</strong> has a <strong>com</strong>pass<br />
<strong>of</strong> 11 tones. It has an interesting rhythmic effect when sung as transcribed,<br />
with the two endings. Two renditions were recorded <strong>and</strong> show no diflferences.
