A Festschrift for Will Ogdon is a tribute to the founding Chair of the Music Department at UCSD. Joining the University in 1966, Ogdon retired in 1991 and has since concentrated on composing. The book contains contributions of writing, music, and art from more than thirty friends, colleagues, and former students along with several pages of photographs. The Collected Writings of Will Ogdon contains all of the composer's published and unpublished writings.
János Négyesy writes, "These two books are a bow to Will Ogdon...a great man and a wonderful composer. I am delighted to be able to present these books to the world."
