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.
