Next in frequency is the interval of a fourth, constituting 27 per cent of the entire number. The rhythmic unit is short and occurs in both double and triple measures. Count-divisions similar to those in the rhythmic unit appear throughout the song. The melody tones are those of the major triad and fourth. The low G at the close of the song was given with distinctness, though it seemed to be below the natural compass of the singer's voice. No variation occurred in the four renditions of this melody. The interval of a fourth characterizes this song and is also prominent in Nos. 7, 11, 16, 20, 50, 88, 90, and 100. A monotonous rhythm somewhat resembling that of the present song is noted also in Nos. 4, 6, 10, 15, 16, 42, 98, and 101. This peculiarity was not found in songs of the Chippewa and Sioux. |
