Keith Christopher has shaped choral music publishing for decades through his work as composer, arranger, and lyricist. Since 1992, he has earned consecutive yearly awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, and his catalog spans hundreds of pieces for choir, band, and orchestra performed across the globe. His achievements include a Gold Record Award for "A Merry Christmas with Brass" and a Dove Award for the choral collection "More Songs for Praise and Worship."
Beyond his arranging work, Christopher has produced over a thousand recordings for major music publishers and authored "The First Christmas Night," a children's book exploring the nativity story. Based in the Nashville area with his wife Tammy, he continues to create accessible, singable music that serves both professional and student ensembles.
Why we love this
Three For Three Volume 2 gives your men's section genuine variety without requiring elaborate staging or extended rehearsal time. These three-part arrangements sit comfortably in men's voices while maintaining the musical substance directors and singers expect, making them equally effective for holiday concerts, spring programs, or service music.
What to expect
Warm and direct, these songs balance sing ability with genuine harmonic color. The three-part writing creates space for each voice to contribute meaningfully while maintaining the blend and resonance that makes men's singing distinctive.
Who it's for
Men's choirs, church music programs, and secondary ensembles needing accessible literature that doesn't sacrifice musical interest. These arrangements work equally well for groups building confidence in three-part writing and experienced singers seeking flexible programming options.
How to get the most out of it
Build the final unison passage with gradual dynamic control rather than sudden volume shifts; let the intensity grow naturally from the harmonic movement underneath.
Balance the second and third parts by having singers mark where their line carries the melodic interest, then emphasize those moments slightly in rehearsal.
Establish a solid harmonic foundation in the lowest part before adding upper voices; this creates stability that allows cleaner attacks across all three lines.
How to use it
Slot this collection into holiday programming where you need flexible choices that work for both formal concerts and more casual celebrations. The six-page format makes it practical for rotating through your annual calendar without adding bulk to your octavo library.
