OK...I guess I'll start. You can find good theremin fodder from many genres. Of course the more lyrical and melodic the better. Christmas and religious music is always a good source. I start with popular music because it's something I'm familiar with and has catchy melodies. I'm not ready to tackle the classical stuff quite yet.
Here are some of my favorite practice pieces. Some of you younger folks may not care for some of this, and I'm definitely dating myself.
