Equinox represents equality and balance. In science and nature, it is when day and night are of
equal length. The Vernal Equinox marks the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring
about March 21. The Autumnal Equinox about September 23. In my early years, I composed solo pieces
for avant garde Contrabassist Bertram Turetzky. He championed the unique timbres of the instrument in
a solo role. The low flutes, often neglected or relegated to accompaniment roles (as the bass) in large
ensembles create a unique texture of alluring, balanced sounds. This is the mood and spirit of the piece.
