The title refers to the Latin word for rhythm as well as to the ancient Greek term meaning symmetry, harmony, and rhythm in music or speech. This original work for string orchestra explores a variety of interlocking rhythmic structures that support a solemn melody in A minor. The theme moves through several dramatic modal shifts, with a spiccato rhythmic motif re-appearing throughout the sections of the orchestra.
