The song contains all the tones of the octave except the seventh and is harmonic in structure. The progressions number 44, somewhat more than the usual number in Ute songs. Only four of these intervals are larger than a minor third. The following is an example of an old dream song. As indicated in the songs of the Bear dance, it is not unusual for young men at the present time to " receive songs in dreams." ( See p. 60.) This song, however, was recorded by Kanav ( pi. 10, 6), an aged man, who said that his uncle " dreamed" it and that he used to sing it when he was alone. The words were not recorded, but were said to mean " We are playing along the shore." |
