(Peermusic Classical). I composed Charades in 2014 for my colleague and friend of so many years, the brilliant pianist Todd Crow. In a Vassar College musicdepartment party over forty years ago Mr. Crow distinguished himself in a game of charades: thus the title. The four movements are Arabesque, Cantilena, Roulades, and Toccata. Todd Crow gave the premiere at Skinner Hall, Vassar College, on December 10, 2016. -Richard Wilson

(Peermusic Classical). I attended a birthday party for my friend, the writer Gail Godwin, at the home of another friend, Frances Halsband. Frances played for me the birdsong of a Wilson's Warbler, a new species to me. Attracted by this sound I proceeded to compose a set of pieces called Mimesis, the individual movements of which are related to creatures of nature. The first movement, Warblemusic, is written for Frances Halsband, remembering Robert Kliment; Owls is for Gail Godwin, remembering Robert Starer; Snail and Parakeet, remembering Richard W. Zingler (my grandfather, who had a parakeet); and Frog Chorus, remembering John Thompson's First Grad Book out of which I studied at age seven, its Frog's Chorus being my favorite selection. -Richard Wilson
