This aria is called "Dido's Lament" because Dido is lamenting the loss of Aeneas, her lover. We know it is a lament because of t

he text and the plot of the opera. But Purcell also lets us know it is a lament with a bass line that descends stepwise. Purcell's audiences would have known just by the music that this was an expression of deep sadness because other composers have used the same kind of bass line for the same reason.
Listen carefully to the bass line throughout this excerpt. Which best describes the melodic shape of the bass line?

Dido's Lament is worked on by a dark recitative, accompanied by the basso continuo, which exemplifies the lament in the composition.

Explanation:

The bass line of the work "Dido's lament is touted to be one of the greats musical achievements of Western music which Purcell did while employing cello and lute to give a seep and resounding tone wherein the theme of the song could be justified to the full.

The melodic line followed by the bass is dark, brooding and melancholic and its movements throughout the composition closely resemble an actual lament with multiple stages of grief coming with he rise and the fall of intensity of music.

It follows the form of traditional laments done for fallen soldiers in war.

If the last remaining seeds of a species of lotus plant were located in a wetland that dried up for several years, what would mo
Luda [366]

Answer:

Lotus flowers rely on their underground roots, however, and die in harsh environments. The seeds then begin to demonstrate the plant’s vitality in the face of natural disasters. One good example is the catastrophic flood of 1954 in which all lotus flowers disappeared. Three years later, water receded to normal levels and in the shallow parts of the lake, the depth was suitable for lotus seeds to grow. Before the flood, numerous seeds had scattered around in the lake and the plants began to grow young leaves in great density, just like artificial seeding. Just two years later, this natural development restored the original scene of abundant lotus flowers.

Explanation:

They are also very adaptive to local environments. They are not afraid of the scorching sun and bloom in hot summer when there are very few other flowers blooming. They are resistant to cold temperatures. Even in the freezing winter, they can survive under frozen ice as long as their roots are kept in water or mud at 5 degrees Celsius. Lotus flowers are not sensitive to soil though mildly acidic, organic clay loams are ideal for them. They can survive and flourish in different types of soil across the country. In the Nansha Wetland near the estuary of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, a large area of lotus flowers flourish in highly alkaline water beside a forest of mangroves which grow only in sea water. In a test conducted in Honghu Park in Shenzhen, lotus flowers were found to be resistant to pollution and have a water-purifying function. Lotus flowers love the sunshine and are not shade-tolerant. They are ideally planted in areas with direct sunlight. Studies have shown that lotus flowers can only bloom in households that can offer more than 6 hours of direct sunshine per day. Lotus flowers prefer warmth. The terminal buds of lotus roots in pools begin to bud when the temperature rises to above 13 degrees Celsius in early April. In mid- and late May, the leaves grow above the water. In early and mid-June, blooming starts. In late June and mid-August, they reach full bloom. In early September, the last flowering period starts. In July and August, their fruit reaches maturity. In mid- and late August, the roots are mature. In early and mid-October, their leaves turn yellow and wither, and the plant enters dormancy. The entire growth period is 160 to 190 days and needs an accumulated temperature of about 4,000 degrees Celsius. That is the ecological reason why lotus flowers can flourish everywhere.

RSB [31]

Answer:

The employer can experience pension loss if it found out that the retirees benefits paid out are more than expected.
