Paul
Ayres was born in London, studied music at Oxford University, and now
works freelance as a composer & arranger, choral conductor & musical
director, and organist & accompanist. His compositions usually
involve words - solo songs, choral pieces, music for theatre productions
- and he is particularly interested in working with pre-existing music,
from arrangements of folksongs, hymns, jazz standards and nursery rhymes
to 're-compositions' of classical works, as in Purcell's Funeral Sentence,
4A Wreck and Messyah. New pieces have been commissioned by the BBC
Singers, the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music, Concordia
Youth Choir, The Esoterics, Texas Lutheran University, Wartburg College,
Wheaton College and Alexandria Choral Society. Paul is the regular
conductor of City Chorus, the London College of Music choirs and the
Walbrook Singers, and he is the associate accompanist of Crouch End
Festival Chorus. He has led many education workshops for children,
played piano for improvised comedy shows and musical theatre, and has
given solo organ recitals in the UK, Scandinavia, Europe, North America
and Australia. Please visit
