Keening

Keening Composed by Evangelia Rigaki Yonit Kosovske, harpsichord The word "keening" originates from “caoineadh”, the Gaelic word for weeping or wailing. Many cultures around the world have ancient keening rituals involving emotionally-charged, dramatic vocalisations that express mourning and grieving. Keening, Evangelia Rigaki's composition for solo harpsichord, calls for a variety extended techniques: Ebow, pizzicato, string glissando, knocking on wood, humming, vocalising, wailing, slapping the chest, and lying over the strings inside the harpsichord. These techniques produce a variety of unique sounds and theatrical gestures, evoking powerful emotions, images, memories, and symbolic references. Rigaki's composition was commissioned in 2024 by Janet Oates as part of her transnational project "Inventions: The Harpsichord Across Time and Borders", made possible with funding from Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Sound Festival (Scotland), The Marchus Trust, The Hope Scott Trust, Mary Cooke, and The Francis Louth Trust, as well as Shanker and Mellicent Singham from the Competere Foundation. As part of Oates' Inventions project, the first live performances of Keening were premiered throughout the autumn of 2024 by three harpsichordists in three different countries: Yonit Kosovske (Ireland), Tiffany Vong (Scotland), and England (Katarzyna Kowalik). Kosovske was so moved by Rigaki's composition that she felt inspired to create a performance of Keening for screen.
