St. Christopher Music



	"Why have the nations raged, and the peoples contemplated worthless things?"
	I started composing music for church when I took the organist/choir director position at my home parish of St. Mary Star of the Sea in Port Townsend, Wa. back in 1985. There were a number of Latin masses in the choir archives, but many of them were long, complicated and very dramatic, and the choir was very small. Over the years I composed simple mass settings for the choir, and eventually began to write hymn settings for existing Latin texts. Only recently have I branched out into responsorial psalm and antiphon settings. Now I'm sharing the music I God has given me. Below are links to one- and two-page previews of my masses and other choral works. If anything interests you, let me know and I'll send you a complete copy. The psalm and antiphon settings are here in their entirety, as is the unison congregation mass setting, Mass of St. Mary's. I am asking nothing for the use of my music, so make as many copies as you need. 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.
