5. Tunes of domed structure (ex.42-43, №327-332)

We have seen tunes whose first lines progressed and ended lower than their second and third lines. In these previous examples the inner lines or their closing notes were only higher 1 or 2 notes and on the whole fitted the schemes of authentic Kyrgyz tunes. Below – mainly for the sake of contrast – a few tunes are presented whose middle lines and cadences are a fourth or fifth higher than the outer lines. This kind of structure is usually missing from the old styles of Turkic peoples and suggests some more recent development.
