Stephen Paulus was an American composer, born in 1949, who established his career in the United States from the 1970s and worked primarily in contemporary classical music with a strong focus on vocal and choral composition. His music employs lyrical melodic lines and accessible harmonies across operas, choral works and orchestral pieces, and his output is part of the late-20th and early-21st-century American choral repertoire.
