5.1. Domed Aeolian tunes (ex.42, №327-329)

The cadences of these tunes are mostly 1 (5) 5/4 and the end of their third line is high-pitched (№327-329). The second lines may be variants of the first with a higher cadence (ex.42a), or may move in a higher register in general (ex.42b). The latter is rarer, widely deviating from the Kyrgyz folksongs on the whole but closely resembling e.g. the tunes of the Hungarian new folksong style.
