Tea Dance Song ( a) Recorded by SINGER NO. 7 115 ( Catalogue No. 733) VOICE J = 88 DRUM J = 88 Drum- rhythm similar to No. 86 mm n r L? if t f , r ffif- W && m m^ m m m .? j| j u \ a ^ fp# Connective phrase T ^ T inniaj. ncr ^ Analysis.- The keynote of this song is considered to be E, the tonality is therefore major, yet the major third appears only once as a progression. The interval of a fourth is strongly in evidence, both as a progression and in the structure of the melody. A rhythmic unit occurs four times in succession, the two first occurrences being on the tone F sharp, E, B, and the second and third occurrences being on the tones B, G sharp, F sharp, after which the melody descends to B along lines which suggest the tonic chord. The portion of the melody included in measures 4 to 8 resembles numerous other Ute dances in its reiteration of a minor third ( cf. Nos. 16, 42, 51). The tone material in this portion of the song is similar to that in No. 2. Other songs containing rests are noted in the analysis of No. 8, and other songs with connective phrase in the analysis of No. 7. The two songs next following were sung after the people sat down and before the tea was served, a pipe being passed among them at this time. |
