Choral Music

RedHouse Arts is Choral Sheet Music

Butterfly (SA, piano and flute) has a lovely, melancholy Appalachian feel and can be performed either as an SA choral piece or as a vocal duet.
Sing the Air! (SSAATTBB, piano and wind chimes) is a celebration of the science, mystery and spiritual significance of that which we cannot see but cannot live without.
Ah, The Air Smells Good (SAT, piano and clarinet) borrows from the Sufi poet Rumi to create a delicious, languid paean to a beautiful day.

Exciting Introductory Offer
For a limited time only -- let's barter!

RedHouse Arts is the "new kid on the block" and we know it. So, in an effort to make ourselves known, we're making this exciting offer:

You need new music for your choral organization. We need recordings of our music. We will provide hard copies or a PDF for you to copy (your choice). Within six weeks of receipt, you provide us with an mp3, a wave file, or a CD (again, your choice). If the recording is not received within that time frame, then we will invoice you for the music. Everybody wins, nobody gets burned. Let's talk!

We are pleased to offer two purchase options. Choose the one that best suits your needs.

1. You may purchase single hard copies (minimum of 6). Hard copies will be sent by US mail.

2. You may purchase a PDF file with permission to make copies for your choir. You will receive your PDF as an e-mail attachment.

About the Composer

Chris Humphrey

Chris received her BA in English at The University of Texas at Austin and then studied music theory and composition with Dr. Thomas Benjamin at The University of Houston and with Dr. Ann Gebuhr at Houston Baptist University. While in Houston, she also served as organist/choirmistress at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church and was Music Director and composer-in-residence for Mahanaim Liturgical Dance Company.

Ms. Humphrey has been actively composing and performing in Austin, Texas since moving there in 1987. Choral music remains a deep love; and when not busy working on a theatre or film commission or rehearsing and performing with various ensembles, she takes deep satisfaction in writing for the company of voices music that pleases the ear and stirs the heart.
