Welcome to Swan-Cross, Ltd.

Welcome!

Welcome to Swan-Cross, Ltd., home of the music by one Charles O. Beck. [That would be me.]

I invite you to explore the music on this website, where you will encounter a variety of music, all composed or arranged by moi. Most of my music does not fit neatly into the usual genres—so, really, the best way to appreciate it is simply to listen to it.

What’s your pleasure? Do you like…

…electronic or ‘electro-acoustic’ music? Then I invite you to check out my “synthonic” compositions and arrangements.
…classical or ‘neo-classical’ music? You might want to check out my symphonic works.
…choral music? Then I urge you to giveahead and sample my choral music.
And then there is all the other stuff, that even I cannot fit easily into some pre-defined category.

Hot off the presses! (as it were...)

My latest work has been with a collection I call “I Sing the Hymn Electronique”. The works in this collection are traditional hymns arranged for electro-acoustic instruments (basically, synthesizers). I love the traditional hymns, and I hope this collection helps you hear some of your favorite hymns in a different light.

The most recent addition to that collection is a somewhat quirky little arrangement of “Victory in Jesus”—which will also soon be available in video format on my YouTube channel: The music of Charles O. Beck

P.S.

I hope you will take time to explore and listen—and come back often. And if you do, please let me know what you think!
