Richard Proulx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Proulx (born St. Paul, Minnesota, 1937) is a prolific American composer and editor of church music, including anthems, service music, hymn concertatos, organ music and music for handbell choir, currently based in Chicago. The pronunciation of his name is suggested by the section of his catalog entitled "Noulx from Proulx".

He served as a consultant on several important hymnals, including The Hymnal 1982 and the United Methodist Hymnal. He has a long association with Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, and has made several recordings with The Cathedral Singers, a professional chorus which he founded in 1991.
