First and foremost: I dedicate this web site to my Heavenly Father. For without Him, I would be nothing. This music is meant to glorify Him in thanksgiving for all He has blessed me with. Amen.
Hello! I’m Kevin F.J. Harris, a composer with over thirty years of experience and a lifelong passion for music. I began playing piano at age seven after my parents recognized my natural gift for music, and those early lessons helped shape a love for creativity that has never left me. Even as a child, I wanted to write my own music, and I composed my first small piano piece at age eleven. In my late twenties, I felt drawn back to composition in a deeper way, and with guidance from a friend, I learned the fundamentals that helped me begin writing seriously. From 2003 to 2005, I studied harmony with American composer Jeffrey Brody, which further strengthened my musical foundation. Since 1992, I’ve composed more than one hundred works, ranging from solo piano pieces to chamber music to liturgical works and orchestral compositions. I write music for the joy of creating and sharing it, and I sincerely hope you enjoy listening.

Sonata for Piano & Cello in D minor, Op. 55
I worked on this piece for quite some time, unhappy with the final movement, I kept tinkering with it until I had it where I felt it needed to be. This is an expressive piece, especially the opening movement. After spending a great deal of time studying both Beethoven and Schubert's cello works, my knowledge of the genre expanded greatly. I hope you enjoy this piece, it's my 99th composition since I started composing in 1990.
This is a handpicked selection of my music, spanning from some of my earliest compositions to more recent works. Included are pieces for solo piano, chamber ensembles, orchestra, and liturgical settings. I hope you enjoy exploring this collection.
