The tonic chord is prominent in the structure of the song; which begins on the dominant in the upper octave and ends on the dominant in the lower octave. Only one other song ( No. 72) of this series begins in 3- 8 time. No. 23. Sun Dance Song ( f) Recorded by SINGER NO. 11 ( Catalogue No. 710) VOICE J= 92 Drum not recorded K f t£ fir rrLfHrlHlffr' 1' Ofel ' A^ cjr iar nu- r m B B B B F B Analysis.- The tonic chord is prominent in the structure of this song, which, like the preceding song, begins and ends on the dominant. An unaccented half note occurs four times but does not form part of a rhythmic unit. Forty- three per cent of the progressions are semitones, a proportion which is unusual in ajoalyzed Indian songs. This transcription is from the last of several renditions which show some slight points of difference. |
