Biography
Paul Mealor is one of the world’s most ‘performed’ living composers and has composed for some of the most important UK state, national and Royal occasions of the past ten years including the wedding of The Prince and Princess of Wales (2011), King Charles’s 65th, 70th and 75th birthdays, three works for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s National Services of Thanksgiving (2022), two works for the Coronation (2023) - including the first ever setting of the Welsh Language at a Coronation - and three works for The Honours of Scotland Service (2023).
He has also written music for film and television including the score to the BAFTA-Award winning ‘Wonders of the Celtic Deep’, three operas, four symphonies, concerti, chamber music, songs and much choral music along with the 2011 Christmas No 1 ‘Wherever You Are’ for Gareth Malone and the Military Wives Choir.
He has received many awards for his work including honorary degrees and fellowships, two Brit Awards and a BAFTA and in the 2024 New Year Honours List was appointed to The Royal Victorian Order (LVO) by HM King Charles III for his outstanding contribution to Royal Music. He is the first composer to receive this award since Sir Arthur Bliss in 1969 and before him, Sir Edward Elgar.
