January 2000 — Present (10 years )
I am chiefly a choral arranger/composer published through my own website at www.paulcarey.net but also through Oxford University Press, Walton, Roger Dean, Kjos, Santa Barbara Music Press, and Colla Voce. My work ranges from simple music for children's choirs all the way through very advanced music for university and professional choirs. My choral music is most definitely driven by the texts involved, and finding great texts (whether very serious or very humorous) to set is my biggest challenge.
