August 24 - Stephen Paulus (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Stephen Paulus (24 August 1949 – 19 October 2014) was an American composer best known for his vocal music.

A Quiet Elegy


Sing gently now for Stephen Paulus,

Frequent source of choral solace.

Music from his thoughtful spirit

Still remains for all to hear it

When the cares of life are pressing.

Sing for him a choral blessing.
