Equinox

An intermediate-level ensemble with a featured theremin soloist. The title Equinox is taken from the biannual crossing of the sun over the equator which results in night and day being of equal length on two days of the year. Shifting, crossing melodic motifs serve as countermelodies to the lead theremin melody; at times there are as many as four countermelodies crossing each other. The crossing of these percussion voices rhythmically and harmonically mimic the equinox event while the theremin floats on top of these crossing motifs.
