About

A Life in
Sacred Music

“It was in Salzburg — while serving a small international congregation — that I first directed a choir and began to understand that composing was my calling.”

Internationally recognized composer Craig Courtney has spent decades at the intersection of the European classical tradition and American sacred hymnody — a path forged in Milan and Salzburg and sustained through more than 400 published works performed worldwide.
