The first six minutes of the album blends a chant The Veil is Lifting, written by Chris, into a powerfully uplifting chant - Jesce Sole: an adaptation of a traditional Neapolitan chant by John La Barbera and Alessandra Belloni from their folk opera Stabat Mater in which Chris performed as Jesus at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York in 1998.

An album purposefully created for those wanting to heal relationships, meditate, pray or realign priorities - with songs at the end that increase the tempo - to inspire new beginnings! Chris' melodic voice, overtoned with his rich harmonies, soothe, heal and inspire!

Recorded in London, in between performing in the West End productions of "Les Miserables" and then "Chess",  the "Journeys ..." album is a soothing, "sit by the fire" musical journey through the peaks and valleys of love, life and relationships.

Melodic, rich vocals, and intricate guitar work are interlaced with the beautiful flute of Tim Wheater and piano by Simon Lee.  Chris' seven year sojourn in England created the inspiration for songs from mystical "Glastonbury" and imaginary "Brackenwood". 

For those going through the loss of a love relationship, his power-ballad "Love Living In You" may help lead you through.

SELECTED ECLECTIC “Ruffs” is not an album, but a wide selection of original music from Chris' vast catalog of material.  From adult contemporary, folk, country, rock, jazz, songs from his musicals, Chris has something stylistically and lyrically for most of us!  Included with this selection is the song he wrote “Artist” that Laura Branigan sang while together in their Paramount Records group Meadow.  This group of songs are but a small sample of his work.  They are at various stages of production, but all are of a high enough quality for you to enjoy.  The song clip samples are long enough for you to decide whether you want to download the full song, at a reduced price from those of his album tracks.  As with any of his album tracks downloaded from Nimbit, 10% of all proceeds received will be put towards Doctors Without Borders, and other future specified humanitarian causes, as will be noted on his website.  So rather than copy a download to give to a friend, enjoy purchasing these songs knowing that we are both contributing to something else of value in the world -- please encourage your friends to do the same!

In 1983 Chris wrote a "to-do" list of yet to accomplish items, on which he added "write a Christmas song". That evening seven songs came through in one night.  These, and five of his other original songs, were recorded and produced in collaboration with a talented group of friends in Virginia Beach within two months prior to Christmas that year. Hear "The Gift" within the Mandala page. 

These songs were then performed with heartwarming celebration by Chris and friends to outreach groups in the community: prisons, hospitals, retirement homes, teenage centers, etc., a tradition continued annually since its inception.

An additional song "A Golden Christmas" (recorded while on tour with the British cast of "Jesus Christ Superstar") was added later. A bonus track added in 2009 was Chris' beautifully sung arrangement of "O Holy Night".

This album has become a perennial favorite and features refreshingly new Christmas music in a variety of styles, including gospel, country, jazz, and folk: all joyfully laced with inspirational lyrics. Also included are Chris' highly praised musical renditions of "The 23rd Psalm" and "The Great Invocation".

TROUBADOUR KNIGHT is a new multi-media musical in development.
It was scripted, composed, directed and performed by Chris at the University of Virginia in March 2002. It is a tale of chivalry, of the French troubadour knight, Arnaut Daniel, mentoring a modern day singer/songwriter. This musical was Chris’ first project to explore the role of synaesthesia in the performing arts.
All instumentation and vocals created and performed by Chris.

The following songs can be heard within the Mandala page of this website:
"My Friend", "There's A Story Breaking", "In The Center of Forever".
