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.
