Behind-the-Scenes: The Heavenly Kingdom

[@CodenameBobby1]

As someone who sings a lot of plainchant with my choir, I LOVE that you used motifs from plainchant. It makes for such a seamless, beautiful transition from the grand majesty of Sogno di Volare to the quieter, but still dignified, beautiful and more ancient Hildegard piece.. Just gorgeous

You're an awesome musician Chris. Love from Zambia

I didn't realize the thematic foreshadowing to We Will Go to the Moon from the main theme of Heavenly Kingdom alone. Makes sense given this number is about looking into space unaided while We Will Go to the Moon is going into space.

[@christophertin]

Yes!!! We Choose to Go to the Moon is meant to be a summary of centuries of work staring at the sky, hence all the major themes are reprised in some form in the grand finale.

I really love the seamless transitions, and the motifs that connect the album as a continuous journey. And these behind the scenes videos are so inspiring, It's really interesting to see how you approach music and literature. I'd have loved to see this though process for mado kara mieru, it's a very beautiful and intriguing song. Thanks for the effort and passion you put into your music, your dedication is inspiring.

[@christophertin]

Maybe I'll revisit that one someday! It was a complex one, but a rewarding journey of exploration into Japanese poetry.

@@christophertin That will be great ❤️

If only we’d get to know the Holy Spirit that inspired these scriptures❤ wow thank you Jesus. Be glorified Lord!

Absolutely very great music..Thank you Sir for your great work of the music who is really a Masterpiece..I adore this

[@acmeannie]

After the grandeur of Sogno di Volare, that perfect transition to the sweet simple beginning of what started all our dreams of flight so long ago...the winging of birds in the skies above us...is something that made my heart catch in my throat. How many of us have wished we could fly....have marveled at our avian companions in this world...and have dreamed of joining them, the tension building slowly as we wait for toes to lift from the ground, hoping maybe THIS time we'll actually make it? You've captured this perfectly...I think she would have approved!

Thanks so much for the behind-the-scenes look as always Chris!

Man you are a great artist... I Just discovered your musics today and you are a genius I can say

[@Michail_Chatziasemidis]

I greatly admire your ideas, Mr Tin! Being myself a student of composition, I really aspire to become such a brilliant composer as you someday. Greetings from Greece!

[@gamegamesoumic]

wow!

[@Tiisje]

Chris: You'll notice that my bass is rising. Me, who knows next to nothing about music: Uh-huh... Anyhow, definetely in the top 3 favourite pieces in the album for me. Can't wait for the official video.

[@aisute8222]

Maybe Christopher will like my comment! PS. Your music is really amazing!!

[@christophertin]

Thanks!

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

But all must bow to Queen Hildegard!! Love that woman!

[@anophrinedesdeus6139]

lool.. there's something to learn 😊😊

[@DanielZenMaster]

Thanks for giving us a little piece of your composition process, Chris. Music is primarily about how it makes you feel, but it's great to get a peek into your thought process when you're composing. Love the transition and Latin choirs, Hildegard sounds amazing, cannot wait to see and hear more. Much love from Poland and have a great Holidays ;) I have a rather odd question, but I'm curious: How do you prefer to be described? As a composer? Musician? Greatest opera singer in the world? ;) I'm just curious whether you pay attention to that, or you think of it as an irrelevant descriptions of - basically - the same profession?

[@christophertin]

Thanks! I like being described as a Composer. Even though I also conduct, arrange, and even play a tad, I just want the focus to be on my compositions.

[@DanielZenMaster]

@@christophertin Composer it is then! Thank you and all the best. Looking forward to your future creations.

[@anophrinedesdeus6139]

I'd rather just make good music too 😊😊😊😊
