Kile Smith is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on August 24, 1956 in Camden, New Jersey, United States.
Smith credits his older sister Carole’s involvement in the All-State Chorus as helping to turn him toward composition. Entranced by the Brahms Nänie in the year she sang (1970), he searched for a commercial recording and found the two-record album with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Ernest Ansermet. He eventually listened to the largest work on the album, the Brahms German Requiem, the opening of which so transfixed him, he has related, Brahms German Requiem to make him decide at age 17 to become a composer.
Smith’s earliest compositions, from 1974 and into college, were art songs and choral anthems. Among his earliest extant works are settings of Shelley poems (Three Songs, No. 1, 1978) and a setting of Donne’s “Batter My Heart, Three- Person’d God” (from Three Songs, No. 3, 1979). At Philadelphia College of Bible, outside of class assignments, he composed for fellow students to sing in recitals, incidental music for a play, an anthem Unto the Hills for the concert choir, and a pop song for the touring college band Joy. He and a fellow student composed music for a non-required full recital in their third year.
