Richard Wilson

    Richard Wilson was een Amerikaanse sciencefictionauteur wiens werken de grenzen van menselijke verbeelding en maatschappij verkenden. Zijn schrijven werd gekenmerkt door scherp inzicht in de toekomst en de menselijke natuur, vaak doorspekt met ironie en kritiek. Wilson verdiepte zich in complexe thema's en oversteeg typische genreconventies om verhalen te creëren die zowel tot nadenken stemden als literair van aard waren. Zijn betekenis ligt in zijn vermogen om maatschappelijke trends te voorzien en te becommentariëren door middel van meeslepende verhalen.

      The remarkable inside story of football's greatest rivalry

      Inside the Divide
    • (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

      Charades for Solo Piano: For Solo Piano
    • (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
