As a composer, Christopher has a love and interest for many genres and platforms of music.  Always working on a project, Christopher wants to compose film/TV scores, video game scores, musicals, operas, oratorios, ballets, chamber music, concert music, art songs, and also arrange and orchestrate music by others.

In the works are some commercial underscores, vocal solos, choral pieces, an organ solo, and some film score samplers...

Latin Text:
O magnum mysterium,
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
jacentem in praesepio!
O Beata Virgo, 
cujus viscera 
meruerunt portare
Dominum Jesum Christum.
Alleluia!
English Translation:
O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
O Blessed is the Virgin 
whose womb 
was worthy to bear
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alleluia!
