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.
