Abstract
“Keys to The Kingdom” is based on the Bible story in the book of Matthew in which the keys to the kingdom were given to St. Peter by Christ. Christ tells Peter, “You are my rock, and on this rock I will build my church.” Peter comes from the Greek word “Petra," meaning rock. This piece was composed to convey the story in a way that catches the listener’s ear. The piece tells the pivotal story in the history of the Catholic Church. The key signature of F sharp minor conveys the magnitude of the moment in the story.
