Chris composes in a variety of genres, but particularly specialises in choral and organ music.  His music is performed as far afield as Germany, the USA and South Africa.  It is published in the UK by Allegro Music, the Royal School of Church Music and Stainer & Bell; and in the USA by St James Music Press.  In addition, a large number of Chris’s compositions may be seen, heard and purchased on line (or, in the case of his hymn tunes, hymn arrangements and psalm chants, downloaded free of charge) at sibeliusmusic.com. 

Chris has an entry in A Directory of Composers for Organ. He holds the diplomas of FTCL in composition and FLCM in church music composition.

Pieces have been included in the Annual Festival of New Organ Music (London, England), the Vale of Glamorgan Festival (Swansea, Wales), the Machynlleth Festival (Machynlleth, Wales), and on the Irish Recorder and Viol Course (Termonfechin, near Drogheda, Eire).

Toccata Nuptiale, a humorous organ work based on the music hall ballad ‘Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do’, is regularly performed in concerts and at weddings, in the UK and abroad, and has been recorded by Andrew Wilson on the Regent label.  It is currently included in the diploma syllabus of the London College of Music.

Recent completed commissions include The Jolly Shepherd, a Christmas choral piece for the choir of St Margaret's, Lee, London;  and The Peace of God, a wedding anthem for Mr & Mrs Stuart Burke.  Commissions in hand include a grace for the wedding breakfast of Mr Simon Daniels and Miss Leila Ward in July 2010.

A number of Chris’s choral pieces have been featured in the British journal Organists’ Review; and some performances of Chris’s music can be heard on YouTube.
