Cornicopia  was written for the Los Angeles Horn Trio in the Spring of 2013 by Kirstin Fife.  The one movement work makes use of traditional hunting horn motifs and quartal harmonies.  It is comprised of two basic themes:  the hunting theme, alternating with a contrasting hymn-like secondary theme.   The title is a pun on Cornucopia or “horn of plenty” and corni which is the word for French horn in musical scores. 

The composer is a graduate of the Yale School of Music, where in addition to her violin studies, she studied orchestration with Jacob Druckman and composition with Martin Bresnick and Richard Lee.  After returning to Los Angeles, Kirstin Fife worked as a violinist, with activities that included, solo, chamber, orchestral and recording.  In 2012, she released a CD, “Pieces of My Heart” which included two original compositions and nine original transcriptions of popular music.


A note on "House of Shadows"

The magnificent Brahms horn trio was my primary inspiration for "House of Shadows".  As a boy I used to hear musical instruments in fanciful ways, I imagined the sound of the horn as a long dark shadow while the violin I saw as thin streaky shadows that darted about.  The piano cast complex shadows because of its polyphonic ability.  There was no television in those days and for amusement my sister and I used to play shadow games with a flickering candle, casting shadows that we invented with our hands, thus the movement "Shadow Games.  Then, deep in the darkest shadow we discover the  "Soul of the House"  To this day I still feel that certain houses have happy souls whereas others have sad souls and yet others seem to have an evilness buried deep within their walls. I live in a very happy house.

John Scott.  August 11, 2013.
