Although he began to write music at the age of eight, he wavered between literature and music as a life work until the age of twenty-six, when Opus 1 - Five Dances for piano - came to light, marking the beginning of a highly prolific and successful career. Completely self-taught in harmony, counterpoint, orchestration and composition, Paul Creston has contributed a full range of music with over one hundred major works. Piano compositions, songs, chamber music for various instrumental combinations, choral works, cantatas, an oratorio, ten symphonic band works, over thirty-five orchestral works (which include five symphonies and fifteen concertos) have placed him in the front rank of American composers and brought him international acclaim. Many of his works have been recorded and an even greater number have been commissioned by important individuals and organizations. His numerous honors and awards include the Music Critics’ Circle Award for Symphony No. 1, First Prize in the Paris International Referendum of 1962 also for Symphony No. 1. the Alice M. Ditson Award for Poem for Harp and Orchestra, Music Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and two Guggenheim Fellowship awards Combined with his prodigious life of musical composition, including numerous scores for radio, television and films, Paul Creston has been active as pianist. organist, conductor. teacher and lecturer. His lecture tours have taken him to colleges and universities throughout the country and as far as Israel and Turkey. He is the author of three text books: Principles of Rhythm, Creative Harmony and Rational Metric Notation. Paul Creston’s impressive body of work represents a magnificent legacy to future generations of musicians and music lovers.
