 Creating Beautiful Music for the World
Mark Hayes was raised in a creative music environment, beginning piano
lessons at ten years of age and developing his improvisational skills early on.
His musical talents grew through the support of his family and through playing
at church and school events. He earned a Bachelor of Music degree in piano
performance, magna cum laude, from Baylor University. During his college years
Mark’s dream of becoming a composer and arranger of contemporary Christian and
sacred music was born and nurtured.
Mark’s career blossomed into international tours to Canada, Europe, the Far
East, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Brazil. His music can be found in
the music libraries of churches and universities around the world. He is in
increasing demand to conduct choral clinics and concerts. His compositions and
arrangements are known for their unique American sound, drawing from diverse
musical styles such as gospel, jazz, pop, folk, and classical. Mark has produced
and arranged over 50 recordings for various artists and publishers, 20 keyboard
folios, and four volumes of the Mark Hayes Vocal Solo Collection. Mark’s
personal catalog includes several solo piano recordings, as well as over 500
published original compositions and arrangements, which are distributed by
several leading publishers. He enjoys teaching piano master classes and weekend
piano improvisation seminars for church keyboardists. Mark also is honored to
have his works regularly featured at conventions of the American Choral
Directors’ Association and the Music Educators’ National Conference
In addition to his involvement in the choral music market, Mark is
increasingly sought after as an orchestrator and music producer. He is a
reoccurring recipient of the Standard Award from ASCAP and has won the
prestigious Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association, which is the
equivalent to a Grammy in gospel music.
Hayes is regularly commissioned by churches, universities, and community
choruses to write original choral works. He is currently writing a Te Deum for a
university in Texas. His 45-minute song cycle, “Two Flutes Playing” for TTBB
voices, flutes, and dancers was premiered in March 2002 by the Heartland Men’s
Chorus in Kansas City, MO. His song “One World” was performed by the Dallas
-based Turtle Creek Chorale at Carnegie Hall in New York City in May 2002.
Mark’s busy travel schedule takes him throughout the United States teaching
keyboard and church music workshops, concertizing, producing recordings, and
conducting choirs at composer festivals featuring his music. Mark also has
served as an adjunct composition instructor at Midwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri.
