Keith Kenniff - Map

Three autumn portraits composed to poetry by my friend Tara Ericksen Smith - all with a bit of yearning and sleepiness built in


Crisp and Crisp

Composed for Matthew Tresler and the Irvine Valley College Choir, this piece is related to the piece "Bitterroot Homecoming," in which the mountains of my home valley speak to me.

Voice of the Mountains

Three dances from some incidental music for Romeo and Juliet, composed for Dianne Timmerman and the Butler University Department of Theatre - this music is sly, slightly sarcastic, and a bit jaded

Tango from Romeo and Juliet

This work was composed for the Christian Fellowship of Art Music Composers "Forging Links" conference, and commissioned by the them, and composed for Brandon Page - it is a very accessible sweet duo, contrapuntal in nature, something that could be played as an offertory in a small church that had a pair of high string players

Reflections of a Hymn of Thanksgiving

A VERY minimalist, very quiet string quartet, consisting of only two pitches, and a repetition of the whole after the audience applauds - a nice concert  palette cleaner for a thick and zesty concert.

String Quartet No. 2

A one-movement, buzzy, modernist-sounding string quartet with an interior wistful reflective episode set amidst the tumble - virtuosic, hectic, a tour de force -  composed for the Montclair String Quartet.

String Quartet No. 3

A fun four-minute quartet, based on quartal harmonies - some theatre is involved, and a wistful viola solo is featured in the third movement, composed especially for Eric Peterson, violist of the Loring String Quartet - commissioned by the Loring String Quartet.

String Quartet No. 4

Work for solo double bass based on the book of Habakkuk, from the Old Testament of the Bible, chapter 3:  

"Were you angry with the rivers, Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?
You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.
You split the earth with rivers;
the mountains saw you and writhed.
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared
and lifted its waves on high"

A piece of many moods and colors, a virtuosic piece commissioned by the International Society of Bassists for its 2001 convention soloist competition.

8Dio 1901 Upright Studio Piano: "ITZAMNA - Palindrome" by Clément Belio

Great to see Terminal M queen Monika Kruse teaming up with her buddies Pig&Dan again. It's been more than a year since their common single releases on Pig&Dan's label Elevate or Terminal M but the two guys from Mallorca have been very busy finishing their album, releases for Drumcode and  their upcoming Space Ibiza CD. Meanwhile Monika travelled the world more than ever with her dj bag to bring the techno message to even more places.

Oblivion EP

Monika Kruse Meets Pig&Dan - Oblivion

"A Liturgy of the Hours" is essentially a singular, personal musical impression of the liturgical hours -  a period of time defined by the individual hours of prayer and worship over the course of a day.  Typically, during the course of a day’s liturgy, the prayers begin at midnight, with Matins -- dawn begins with Lauds, moving through the morning and afternoon with Prime, Terce, Sext, None, and moving into the evening with Vespers and finally, Compline.  Each prayer is about three hours apart from each other, and depending on which church’s tradition you follow, will have a set of readings, hymns, psalms, and prayers which are read, sung, or prayed.  This sonata is loosely based on some of those readings. psalms, and prayers, with a verse or fragment of those hours listed below.  The individual movements contain some shared musical material between movements, but is unlike a typical violin sonata in that the violin is not always the principal instrumentalist – indeed, most of the time, the foregrounded music is an amalgamation of both instruments.  The musical language, while accessible, is contemporary to the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and takes advantage of scordatura violin writing, modes of limited transposition, and inside the piano work popularized by Olivier Messiaen, George Crumb, Henry Cowell, Charles Ives and others.  This piece is not a straight programmatical work – rather, the work reflects the impressions made upon me while working on it, and when reading/praying the liturgical hours, I made similar connections between the texts below (taken from a single day’s breviary texts) and the music as it was being written.

It is here performed by the violin-piano duo "Ascending," by whom the piece was commissioned

MΛDILIM MIXTΛPE Vol.7

Preserve Me, O God is a piece that I promised to write for my wife shortly after hearing her sing as a soloist for the first time at the University of Minnesota.  It had a long gestation, and I wrote nearly ten other false starts before completing this piece.  I had asked her what her favorite sacred text was, and she replied that it was the sixteenth psalm.  She liked one translation of this text, and I liked another, and so eventually I went back to the original Hebrew and with a dozen English translations and Strong’s Bible Dictionary before me produced the paraphrase for this piece.  The Good News Bible lists this a “prayer of confidence,” and my setting of the text reflects that along with my reading that David is claiming the Lord for his own throughout (“You are MY Lord”). This psalm also enumerates a number of the excellent things that God has given the psalmist (as well as mentioning the less-than-excellent sorrows that come to those who chase after other ‘gods.’).  The text is set largely syllabically for the soloist, accompanied by contrapuntal backgrounds and a bit of pedal-based tintinnabulation underneath them, utilizing a modal, accessible musical language.  This seems to illustrate a kind of dialogue between soloist and quartet, somewhat like a congregation engaging in active, vocal participation with the preacher’s reading. This exaltation, while restrained, is both emotional and reverent.

Preserve Me, O God

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
