Christine composes music for musicians of all kinds. High calibre concerts at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the Moscow Conservatory are interspersed among frequent performances featuring young soloists, community orchestras, and church choirs. The Toronto Symphony, Symphony New Brunswick, Symphony Nova Scotia, Thirteen Strings, Elektra Women’s Choir, DaCapo Chamber Choir, and the Canadian Guitar Quartet are just a few of the ensembles that have performed her music in Canada.

Christine is frequently called upon to work with music students and teachers as a guest speaker, clinician, and adjudicator. Over one hundred of her pedagogical compositions, arrangements, and figured bass realizations appear in The Royal Conservatory of Music graded repertoire and studies books.
 Selected work​s
  • Rainstorm - SSA with piano and opt. percussion. Beginning with a calm and free aleatoric section, this piece starts like a calm rainfall, but then changes tone and introduces a bouncing and rhythmic melody overtop of a staccato and tonally shifting piano part. Along with piano, rain stick and thunder drum parts are also notated, but the percussion ensemble can be expanded with other effects. 

  • In Flanders Field - SATB of TTBB, a capella. This simple, hymn-like setting of the famous McCrae poem allows the listener to focus on the text, supported by the homophonic and accessible melody and harmony that would be suitable for any level of SATB or TTBB choir.
Recently, Christine has been teaching theory and composition over the latest summer in Ottawa and Victoria and has had her works performed in Belgum, the US, and Canada.
