Love Song (a) Sung by Swift Doa (Catalogue No. 590) VoicB J —66 Dri;m not recorded (1) g^ai^. Analysis.—Two rhythmic units are found in this song, each appear- ing twice. The larger part of the second unit also appears at the close of the song, but a change of accent alters the phrase so mate- rially that it is not marked as a repetition of the unit. One acci- dental occurs—the seventh raised a semitone—this being an accidental often found in songs of minor tonality. This melody is based on the second five-tonpd scale and is harmonic in structure. One-third of the intervals are minor thirds. Voice J —63 Drum not recorded No. 234.
