MARK HAYES
Mark Hayes, 1953- , is an American gospel composer. He is well known for his unique choral settings, drawing from gospel, jazz, pop, folk, and classical traditions to achieve a truly "American sound." His works are regularly featured at annual conventions of the American Choral Directors' Association and the Music Educators' National Conference. His personal catalog, compiled over the last 29 years, includes well over 600 published original compositions and arrangements, which are distributed by several leading publishers. Hayes has produced and arranged over 50 recordings for various artists and publishers, 25 keyboard folios, and seven volumes of the Mark Hayes Vocal Solo Collection.
In addition to his involvement in the sacred and secular choral music fields, Hayes is increasingly sought after as an orchestrator and record producer. Mark Hayes is a recurring recipient of the Standard Award from ASCAP, and his album, I've Just Seen Jesus, received the Dove Award, the equivalent to a Grammy in gospel music.
