FIGURE II. TUNES OF PRIMITIVE SAVAGES.
The first is from Australia, the second from Tongataboo. Both are made of a single motive endlessly repeated without relief.
In a slightly higher stage, two motives are used, but with little more skill. Number 3, in Figure II, is an example. Then come tunes in which one or more motives, repeated literally, are still the main feature of the design, but in which a certain amount of variety is introduced between the repetitions (see Number 4, in Figure II, a Russian tune). Here the little characteristic figure of four short notes and a long, marked N.B., is agreeably relieved by other material.
