Pay close attention to Table 5.1, which illustrates a Pasterskawierchowao zwodna continuum. Relate each of the features listed in the table to the three examples as you listen to them. How does Worlds of Music describe the three genres as existing on a continuum?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

How many beats and bars is the nuta phrase when it is played in a metered version? In general, how is the nuta theme treated in the examples? In these examples, what is the usual form of the text lines in terms of repetition? What repeating device is often played in the accompanying instruments in the metered examples?

Answer to Question 1

 The distinctions among the three genres can be thought of as existing on a continuum moving from the
 Pasterska as (typically) unmetered (or rubato, i.e., a deliberate unsteadiness of tempo, and lacking a steady pulse/beat) for listening and performed vocally to the
 Wierchowa, which may be unmetered or metered, is for listening or dancing, and performed vocally and/or instrumentally to the
 Ozwodna, which is metered, for dancing and performed instrumentally.
 By modifying some of the characteristics of a selection from the Pasterska genre the Wierchowa genre may be created, which then uses either some features of the Pasterska genre and/or some of the features of the Ozwodna genre.
 Thus the Wierchowa genre can be considered an in-between genre on a continuum between the Pasterska and Ozwodna genres, which are at opposite ends on the continuum.

Answer to Question 2

 The nuta melody is 10 beats long divided into 5 bars (not the typical 4- or 8-bar phrases that are common in European music)
 The nuta is repeated, but varied each time it re-occurs. (This is in keeping with the nuta concept.)
 Usually the two text lines (couplet) are stated with the second line repeated (ABB).
 The accompanying instruments often play an ostinato pattern, a repeating melodic pattern or series of notes.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.
