English term or phrase: work their way around functionally back
As the entire A section moves harmonically around C major, the B section would be good spot to try to ge out of that by the use of modulation or by the use of secondary dominants and II-V cadences that might sound like we are going to another key, but still work their way around functionally back to C major.

Gracias.

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Aunque me rechina un poco el "de forma/manera funcional" aquí. Tal vez arreglárselas para volver [de hecho / en realidad / en la práctica] a Do Mayor.
