( See No. 33.) The song begins with an ascending octave. Only one other Ute song has this initial interval ( No. 91). Chippewa and Sioux songs with this peculiarity are noted in Bulletin 53, page 81, and Bulletin 61, page 343. It also begins and ends on the same tone. ( See Nos. 42, 59, 91, and 97 of this series; also Bull. 53, p. 222, and Bull. 61, p. 257.) About one- third of the intervals are fourths. Two rhythmic units occur, the rhythm of the second unit being steadily different from that of the first unit. A first and second ending occurs also in the duplication No. 39 and in No. 48. This song is considered in the Appendix, pages 206- 208. |
