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

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
