Analysis.—There is a taunting quality in both the rhythmic units of this song. In the first unit we note the ascent of a whole tone followed by a corresponding descent, the higher note being accented. The second unit is longer than the first, its count-divisions are more regular, and it suggests a sustained strength, while the frequent descent of a minor third gives an effect of sadness. The melodic freedom of this melody is native in its character, while the clearness of rhythmic form suggests that the song has been correctly sung. The last note was followed by shrill war cries. The Makah song used in connection with the foregoing has no words. It was the custom to sing first one and then the other, 89728—39 12.
