    Noted composer Stephen Paulus passed away two days ago. His choral compositions were of consistently high quality.

    OMGosh!
    One of my true compositional heroes. Folks, if you've never done Stephen Paulus with your choirs, look at his Christmas catalogue for THIS YEAR and do some! Genius composer. His recordings with Dale Warland are sheer perfection in a truly American school of choral philosophy.
    RIP, good and faithful servant. Thanks, Chuck, sigh....

    So sorry to hear, we used to sing his stuff in Ars Nova Singers.

    Okay, the choir isn't Catholic, but the music is a favorite of many.

    Pilgrim's Hymn is probably within reach of most decent choirs and is a great introduction to his body of work. RIP!
