Paul Mealor has been described as the most important composer to have emerged in Welsh choral music since William Mathias (New York Times, 2001) and his music is marked by something outside of himself that is beautifully spatial and evocative of landscape it illuminates both our past and our future (The Guardian, 2011).
Topping the Classical Charts for six weeks with his bestselling album, A Tender Light (featuring Tenebrae Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) in November 2011, he also broke records by being the first classical composer to hold both the classical and pop chart No 1s at the same time in December 2011, securing the UK Christmas No 1 with his piece for The Military Wives Choir and Gareth Malone, Wherever You Are. Wherever You Are entered the UK Pop Singles Chart at number 1 on 19th December, selling over 556,000 copies in one week, more than the rest of the Top 12 combined, and was nominated for Best British Single in the 2012 BRIT Awards. It has been named, by the Official Charts Company as, the fastest selling single since Elton Johns Candle in the Wind. Also, in April of 2012 Mealor was voted the nations favorite living composer during the UK Classic FM Hall of Fame.
