Paul Seymour Matthen (1914-2003) as an American bass-baritone, musical scholar and music pedagogue. [1]
He studied music and chemistry at Columbia University, and was a student of Friedrich Schorr.
Paul Matthen had a distinguished concert and operatic career, drawing much praise for his ability with opera, early music, and German Lieder. He performed with major symphony orchestras including that of the Boston Symphony, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and the National Symphony in D.C.
A leading bass-baritone at the Wurttembergishe Staatsoper for many years, he sang in operas directed by Wieland Wagner (grandson of Richard Wagner) as well as in Italian and French operas. In addition to regular appearances on national radio and television networks, he was soloist on the stages of Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, and was soloist at Radio City Music Hall for two years.
In 1943 and 1950, Matthen was offered Metropolitan Opera contracts but declined in order to fulfill previous contracts and devote time to his family.[2]
Teaching
Paul Matthen was a professor at Wellesley, at Bennington College, the Longy School, Union Theological Seminary, Boston University, and Baptist Theological Seminary. In 1957 he joined the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music voice faculty. For over 30 years he performed regularly and chaired the dissertation committees of the vast majority of IU's graduate vocal students. From 1961 to 1984, he taught all of the doctoral seminars in solo vocal literature and opera. He was sponsor and advisor for more than 35 dissertations, many of which appeared in scholarly journals. On his retirement from Indiana University in 1984, he was offered a position at The Julliard School, which he declined because he wished to remain in the Bloomington area. He was Emeritus Professor at the Indiana University School of Music and Graduate School almost to his death. He died at his home on November 23, 2003 at the age of 89, leaving behind a legacy of performing and teaching accomplishments.
