El Escorial echoed all those facets of Philip II's personality and character.

Explanation:

El Escorial is a mausoleum and a monastery located in the northwestern part of Madrid. It is also a royal monastery commissioned in 1563 by Philip II after the battle of St Quentin. Philip wanted to build a mausoleum because of his father's wish to construct a royal burial place.

With Juan de Toledo's design, the work started in 1563. After Toledo's demise, the designing work carried out by his assistant Herrera. Apart from the exact design Phillip also suggested many changes and supervised it. All the decorations and lightings in the interior reflected his personality and character.

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
