This study shows stylistic traits of Stephen Paulus's choral writing by providing an analysis of six of the composer's
fifty-eight multi-movement works. The context in which each work was written (with regard to the commissioning ensemble and in relation to
Paulus's career) is explored briefly, followed by textual and music analysis, focusing on unique qualities of the works as well as
characteristics that carry over to his other works. The full fifty-eight multi-movement choral works are catalogued. A summation of
Paulus's stylistic traits as represented by these works is presented as well as suggestions for further research. Additionally, a
biography and full catalog are included. / A Dissertation submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
