Tim Knight's music ranges from small beginner pieces for woodwind ensembles to large-scale choral and orchestral works. Tim's music is published in the UK by Tim Knight Music through the Highlands-based music hub Spartan Press and Animus, and by Lighthouse Music Publications in Canada, Paraclete Press, Alliance and Cantica Nova in the USA. Visit the music shop for those pieces available direct from Tim Knight Music. Tim has also written 3 best-selling books for choir survival and concert organisers which are available via Spartan Press.

By far the largest part of Tim's output is choral music and he has a special interest in music for the smaller choir which has led to the creation of a hugely successful Accessible Choral Library imprint for these works which also includes other composers in the series. As Conductor and Choral Director, Tim has worked with choirs large and small and held posts with Wakefield Festival Chorus, Vocalis, The York Rose Singers, Thornton Vocal Union, and provided choral workshops for many other choirs and choral organisations. He also founded and runs two choirs based in Leeds: The Heritage Singers and Masterworks Chorale.

Tim's music has found its way onto exam lists and festival programmes and has won awards from the Royal School of Church Music, the British Academy of Songwriters, The Masterworks Prize 2006 and other bodies including the Oare String Composers' competition.

His work has been performed in concert halls, (indeed, for the opening of the new concert hall in Lieden Holland) schools and Cathedrals within the UK, Europe and America. He has undertaken a "Composer in Residence" visit to Clarke University Dubuque in Iowa for the premiere of his Requiem Aeternam and also at the Royal Canadian College of Organists Conference in Prince Edward Island.

Commissions form an important part of Tim's composing life and he has written for choirs, instrumentalists and individuals. Recent pieces have included a Flute and Piano Suite, a Flute Choir Suite for Sheffield Flute Choir, a Wedding Anthem and a Christmas Carol for the Yorkshire Decibelles.
