Formal description: “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” (Stephen Hoster, 1854) is a composition with four 4-bar phrases,
all of them ending in root-position full cadences. Only the last cadence is in the tonic. The first three phrases clearly
establish a tonic reference, and cadence in the dominant. The second of these is arguably stronger than the first and third.
