Answer to Question 1

 The phrases generally descend from high to low pitches.

This piece is based on a C major scale: C D E F G A B C. Note the lowering or flatting of the 3rd scale-degree (EEb) and the 7th scale-degree (BBb) in the recorded selection and its transcription in Worlds of Music (Tr. 4-7, p. 159). In the first stanza, list the words that are sung with blue notes (sliding up and down on pitches).
 Blue notes occur in the first stanza on the words:
Hey . . . (morn)ings . . . morn(ings) . . . won't . . . long. . . . me . . . (cap)tain . . . gone.

Form: How many stanzas are sung in the recorded selection? How many lines are sung in each stanza?
 Two stanzas
 Two lines (sentences) in each stanza.

Answer to Question 2

 The flow and rhythm of the text (which makes it difficult to sing along with)

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
