These four songs were commissioned by Louise Toppin. The texts are by and about the composer's late brother, Terry (1963-88). The first, For Terry, has whole tone harmonies. Poem has a gospel/funk feel with a short moment of reggae. L'orangerie is distinctly French in its inspiration. The poignant final song, The Visitor, quotes Mendelssohn's Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, which was the only piano piece Terry would play on request. He always stopped after the easy part. The text is based on a dream the composer had a few months after her brother's death.
