Stephen Paulus (1949- )
Stephen
Paulus, born in Summit, New Jersey, is one of America’s most talented
composers, having achieved notable success with performances of operas
as well as works for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensembles and piano. As
a composer for the stage, he has been most closely associated with the
Opera Theater of St. Louis, which commissioned and premiered The
Village Singer (1979), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1982, based on
James M. Cain’s novel) and The Woodlanders (1985, after Thomas Hardy).
In September 1983, The Postman Always Rings Twice became the first
American opera ever presented at the Edinburgh Festival, and has now
been produced nine times. Harmoonia, an opera for children, was
commissioned in 1991 by Des Moines Metro opera; The Woman at Otowi
Crossing (based on the novel by Frank Waters) was premiered by the
Opera Theater of St. Louis in June 1995; Summer (1999) is based on a
novella by Edith Wharton; and the "church opera" The Three Hermits
(1997) was inspired by a story of Tolstoy. His most recent opera is
Heloise and Abelard, premiered at the Juilliard School in New York in
April 2002. He has received commissions from such noted ensembles and
performers as the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra,
Houston Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Music Society of
Lincoln Center, Cleveland Quartet, Thomas Hampson, Håkan Hagegård, Doc
Severinsen, Evelyn Lear, Leo Kottke and Robert McDuffie, and his
orchestral, vocal, choral and chamber works have been heard throughout
the United States and in Russia, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden,
Finland and other European music centers. He is also known as a
conductor of his own compositions and as a guest composer with major
musical ensembles and at colleges and universities. Paulus has served
as Composer-in-Residence with the orchestras of Atlanta, Minnesota,
Tucson and Annapolis, and as Resident Composer at the Tanglewood, Santa
Fe Chamber Music and Oregon Bach Festivals, and, in Britain, at the
Aldeburgh and Edinburgh Festivals. He was a co-founder in 1973 of the
Minnesota Composers Forum, and is also a member of the Board of
Directors of ASCAP and co-founder and a current Board Vice President of
the American Composers Forum, the largest composer service organization
in the world. Stephen Paulus has received awards and fellowships from
the National Endowment for the Arts, the Guggenheim Foundation and
