This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...C, Path of dancers in structure. The closing song contains only two tones, is simple in rhythm, and has a drumbeat in unaccented eighth notes, the other songs having a drumbeat in quarter notes. The accompanying instrument was a hand drum. Analysis.--We have before us for consideration two renditions of a song by the same singer (cf.

Inquiry was made concerning the life of the singer during the two years elapsing between the making of the records, as the rhythm might possibly be influenced by an adaptation to the ways of the white man. The Government officials on the reservation were, however, of the opinion that no appreciable change had taken place in the singer and the difference in the records was attributed by them to a difference in mood at the time of recording.

Tone material Octave complete except seventh. Structure Melodic. First progression Upward. Time of first measure 2-4. DIFFERENCES 'Interesting features of the second rendition are the first and second endings and the connective phrase. In both renditions the...
