In movement IV of Symphony No.2, a broad melodic sweep can be
heard in the violin lines from bars 214-27. In this extract (Ex.IO),
the violins move in octaves above a static accompaniment.
Other examples of this type of scoring can be found in Symphony
No.1 movement I from bars 282-90,_ in movement II from bars 130-3, and in
movement III as part of the closing tutti of the work. In Aotearoa
Overture it can be heard in a couple of significant passages, most
notably at the beginning of the development section (bars 103-11) and at
the commencement of the coda (bars 220-23). In Allegro it is most
prominent in the recapitulation section bars 315-20.
