This has the same character as the preceding passage and forms a single section with it, but the compass now goes down to f. A characteristic five-note pattern of rising and falling semitones appears in the parallel half-cadences at anakídnatai and anamélpetai, and in the word aióois 'shimmering'. The sentence about the pipe, ligy-krekei, is entirely in conjunct motion, gliding along as smoothly as a snake. |
