[edit] Prominence
Perhaps her most well-known work is an arrangement of "Schubert"s "Ave Maria", from her debut album which featured on the theatrical trailer for the 2007 film Hitman. Commonly heavy rock music set to the final montage of action movie trailers and for a soft opera piece be laid underneath such extreme violence made striking contrast. For the actual film, an electronic arrangement by Geoff Zanelli was used over the opening titles. The trailer for "Hitman" can be viewed by following the link below
[edit] Musical style
Her soft angelic voice and vocal style has been compared to that of British opera singer Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman.[2] Her music ranges from classical opera pieces to Christian hymns and although Christina enjoys singing all types of music, classical is her favorite.
