St. Christopher Music



	"Why have the nations raged, and the peoples contemplated worthless things?"
	Over the years I've composed several simple mass settings in English and Latin for the small choir of my parish, St. Mary Star of the Sea, Port Townsend, Wa., as well as psalm settings, songs and various choral works. A few years ago I decided to share my music freely with others, and created this website. Since then I've had requests from all over the world, often from small, poor parishes who couldn't otherwise afford new works for their liturgical celebrations. Below are links to previews of my Latin masses. If you are interested, I will gladly send you complete copies. (I recently removed the English mass settings from the 2nd edition of the Roman Missal, as those will no longer be permitted.) There are also links to other choral and unison works in English and Latin. Also, I've posted two complete mass settings using the 3rd translation of the Roman Missal, approved by ICEL. If you use any of my works, please let me know. If it's possible to get me a recording of your ensemble performing it, I would greatly appreciate it. - Chris A. Hawley If your request for complete scores does not go through, please write to the administrator - ptguy98368@yahoo.com Some of the samples may be hard to read when opened in Acrobat, so try printing them.
