The Major Arcana is a series of 22 short violin and piano pieces composed by Kirstin Fife. Each composition is based on the character of each of the fate cards in the tarot deck.The deck is shuffled and the compositions are chosen randomly at the performance, to simulate a card reading. No two performances are the same! -Kirstin Fife
Artist bios:
There are many wonderful
violinists on the world's stages today, but not many of them compose and
perform their own original compositions along with those of the master
composers of centuries past. Kirstin Fife has distinguished herself as
one of these more rare musicians, consummate performer and composer.
Many of her concerts are given in an intimate setting, such as private homes and small theaters. Also, she performs in regular concert series, such as the Glendale Noon Concerts, the Pasadena Presbyterian noon concerts, the Sunday musicale series at the Newport Beach Library, and The Sunspace Thursday night concert series. Recently, Kirstin has been promoting and performing her performance piece, "The Major Arcana", for violin and piano, which includes a slide show to enhance the presentation.
In addition, to "The Major Arcana", Kirstin has been performing her pieces based on the art work of Salvadore Dali, with the Dali Ensemble of Los Angeles.
"Czechmate" and "Pieces of My Heart" are two CD's that she released in 1996 and 2011 respectively. In between, were hundreds of recordings as a studio musician for movies, television, and records including "Mission Impossible", "Jag" Star Trek:The Next Generation", "Michael Jackson" and many others too numerous to mention. On camera, she has appeared on "American Idol", "Tonight Show", and "The Voice", and others. Also, she has performed for all of the major awards shows, including the Academy Awards, The Emmy Awards, the Country Music Awards, and the Grammy Awards (with Prince and Bruno Mars).
Kirstin loves to perform for charitable causes, these have included "Alzheimer's Foundation" "The Red Shirt Project" and "Hope Gardens. She welcomes the opportunity to do much more of this kind of work.
Kirstin Fife is in the business of creating, recording, performing and teaching. Her CD's are available on iTunes. Original compositions and arrangements are available on sheetmusicplus.com.
