Biography
Paul Wehage studied at the University of Texas at Austin before entering the Paris Conservatory, where he won a first Prize in Saxophone in 1990. His training was further completed by private study with the noted French Soprano, Renée Mazella.
Wehage started his career as a performing musician, working on both American and French music, with a focus on new works. His work with Jean Françaix lead to several new works, including the version for Saxophone and Orchestra of "L'Horloge de Flore" and the chamber Opera "L'Apostrophe" and Françaix's last completed work "Neuf Historiettes de Tallemande des Réaux". Antoine Tisné, Gian Paolo Chiti, Jeffrey Stolet were among the many composers to write works for Wehage.
His musicological work on Germaine Tailleferre has lead to many surprising discoveries concerning both Tailleferre's music and the historical reality of her work both before and after her death. Wehage has orchestrated Tailleferre's "Three Etudes for Piano and Orchestra" as well as her collaboration with Paul Claudel "Sous le Rempart d'Athènes" using the composer's piano short score. Currently, Wehage is currently preparing a reconstruction of the complete version of Tailleferre's "Il Etait un Petit Navire", a work which was presented in a cut version at its première at the Opéra Comique in 1953.
Wehage's catalog of works include his "Stabat Mater" for Women's voices or mixed chorus, a series of works for Saxophone and Piano including his Sonata, Ryoanji for Contrabass Saxophone and Piano, "Les Palissades Mytérieuses" for Alto Saxophone and Piano, in addition to works for organ, piano, concert band, a variety of ensembles and solo instruments. He is also increasingly known for his work in the transcription for saxophone of the works of J. S. Bach
