Welcome to the music library of Crossmark Arts by Nathan A. Smith.
As a former band and choir director, I know first-hand the challenge of finding high-quality, emotionally resonant music on a limited budget. My mission is to bridge that gap by offering original compositions and arrangements that are free to download, rehearse, and perform.
Based in Portland, Oregon, I draw inspiration from nature, personal experiences, and a desire to connect people across the universal themes of life.
My music has a focus on a modern sound with pieces that are reflective and peaceful, but also can be soaring and cinematic.
Whether you are looking for beginner, intermediate or advanced choral pieces for a school ensemble or peaceful piano music for personal reflection, you’ll find resources here designed to inspire both the performer and the listener.
Piano
Reflective solo piano compositions ranging from intermediate to advanced.
Instrumental
Solo and small ensemble pieces for woodwinds, brass, and strings.
Digital
Orchestral-style synthesized works and cinematic themes.
