Composer
Original music for choirs, bands, orchestras, chamber groups, media, and community projects.
Paul Emmett is a composer writing for choirs, orchestras, brass bands, chamber ensembles, soloists, theatre projects, and media.
His music is shaped by a practical understanding of performers, a strong sense of line and colour, and an interest in creating work that connects clearly with both musicians and audiences.
Paul’s catalogue includes choral music, brass band works, chamber pieces, electroacoustic music, film/media projects, and concert works for flexible ensembles.
Music for performers, projects, and occasions
Paul writes music for a wide range of performers and settings, from short concert pieces and choral works to larger collaborative projects.
His work is especially suited to ensembles looking for music that feels personal, performable, and carefully shaped around the group, occasion, or story behind the project.

Paul is happy to discuss practical details such as difficulty level, duration, instrumentation, rehearsal time, performer confidence, audience, and budget before shaping a proposal.
