American composer John Kenneth Graham (born July 261955 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana), studied at Southeastern Louisiana University and Louisiana State University, and writes orchestral tableaux of American legend and folklore. A traditionalist, his most representative works include the first four symphonies of a nine-symphony cycle. Other works include a Festival Mass in C Minor for choir, pipe organ and chamber orchestra, First Piano Concerto, numerous works for percussion and several large works for symphonic band. The recent performance of Lines After Bidart While Watching Television, arranged upon a poem by John Mulrooney, featured symphonic band and full choir with alto solo and is a commemorative to those who served in the relief of the attacks on the World Trade Center..
