Resonances
Program note: Resonances of sounds, resonances of emotions.
Paper Wings
Program note: Paper Wings is dedicated to my mother, Nancy Bondurant Jones, who, among many other lifetime accomplishments, is a writer. The title is in tribute to how her writings continue to strengthen her resolve and lift her spirits, as if with “paper wings”. (Originally composed for Michael Braudy’s request for a piece for solo violin.)
(Audio is from Lynn Bechtold‘s performance at the Poet’s House, NYC)
Frost Vapors
This short piece attempts to convey the ethereal beauty of frost and cold vaporous air. Originally written for Icelandic violinist, Eva Ingolf’s tribute to her homeland, as a land of mystery.
(Audio is a home recording by Eva Ingolf)
An Evening Indigo
After Thought
An emotional reflection – surfacing after a thought just a moment past.
(Audio is a home recording by Sylvia Ahramjian.)
Night Stream
Recorded 6/2013: PARMA Recordings, Moravian Philharmonic violinists: Antonín Hradil, and Jakab Látal

Jilted Tango – duet
Lovely concert video of violinist, Moonkyung Lee‘s performance of Jilted Tango at the Seoul Art Center. She’s such an exquisitely skilled violinist. She’s also recording this piece for her next PARMA Recordings release. Can’t wait!
The push and pull in a dance of love. – RW
A Turn in Return
Originally composed as a submission to Hilary Hahn’s Encore Project call for scores, it is a quietly tender piece that has stayed close to my heart.
