  We discuss procedures for error-tolerant spin control in environments that
permit transient, large-angle reorientation of magnetic bias field. Short
sequences of pulsed, non-resonant magnetic field pulses in a laboratory-frame
meridional plane are derived. These are shown to have band-pass excitation
properties comparable to established amplitude-modulated, resonant pulses used
in high, static-field magnetic resonance. Using these meridional pulses, we
demonstrate robust $z$ inversion in proton ($^{1}$H) nuclear magnetic resonance
near earth's field.
