ACCENT ON ACHIEVEMENT

The first modal episode begins with a chant-like melody in G Aeolian mode (natural minor) that is reminiscent of early medieval music. The Allegro that follows is set in B-flat Mixolydian mode. A dance-like melody dominates this episode and the percussion section is featured in a simple question-and-answer exchange. Correlates to Book 1, Page 21
