Richard Proulx

Richard Proulx is a widely published composer of more than 300 works, including congregational music in every form, sacred and secular choral works, song cycles, two operas, and instrumental and organ music. He has served as a consultant for such hymnals as The Hymnal 1982, New Yale Hymnal, the Methodist Hymnal, Worship II & III, and has contributions in the Mennonite Hymnal and the Presbyterian Hymnal. Proulx was a member of The Standing Commission on Church Music of the Episcopal Church and was a founding member of The Conference of Roman Catholic Cathedral Musicians. He has conducted choral festivals and workshops across the country as well as in Canada, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand.


In 1991, Richard Proulx founded The Cathedral Singers, as an independent recording ensemble. The group has sung a number of live concerts in the Midwest and has produced over twenty recordings of a great variety of choral music.


A rare combination of talents as composer, conductor, music editor, and organist, together with wide experience across denominational lines, have given Richard Proulx a unique perspective of both the opportunities and the challenges found in liturgical music-making in our time; he remains committed to the enriching and balancing role of the arts in people of all ages.
