Answer to Question 1

Differences:

Rite = Pagan ritual

Symphony - medieval-style homage to God

Rite - vivid, colorful, and programmatic

Symphony - austere, somewhat dry, detached

Rite - Rich in complex rhythms and textures, shift of tempo and mood, and tuneful snippets

Symphony- maintains a steady pulse an is more transparent with most memorable melodic material being extremely simple

Common features:

irregular blocks of sound, active ostinato patterns

Symphony is not an ongoing evolution of Stravinsky's musical approach, but is more like an abrupt change of direction.

Stravinsky was a part of modern culture in western Europe, yet he had an intense interest in the past.

Answer to Question 2

C
