A native of Orlando, Florida, Carl MaultsBy is a composer, arranger, conductor, organist, keyboardist, singer, author, and former artist and repertoire (A&R) staff producer for RCA Records who is well-versed in a variety of musical idioms. He started learning piano at an early age from the keyboardist at Shiloh Baptist Church in Orlando and attended Jones High School where he was active in music programs under the direction of "Chief" James Wilson. In 1964, MaultsBy was captain of the historic Jones High School marching band during their performance at the World's Fair in New York, and also began arranging music for the band.
MaultsBy attended Lake Forest College, where he dual majored in mathematics and music, while also performing with his R&B group, The Soul Syndicate. He then received a Masters of Music degree in jazz and commercial composition from the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied composition with Richard DeRosa and film scoring with Ed Green, and at Columbia University he studied music composition with the late Vladimir Ussachevsky and electronic music composition with Mario Davidovsky. Returning to Lake Forest College, he earned a Doctor of Fine Arts degree and also studied sacred music and organ at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA.
A 2002 inductee into the African Music Hall of Fame and a 2002 awardee of the American Music Center Margaret Fairbank Jory Copying Assistance Program, MaultsBy is also a recipient of a 2001 Harvard University Fromm Music Foundation Award, Eye of the Sparrow, and a 2003 New York State Council on the Arts Commission for his woodwind quintet piece, The Journey , composed for Quintet of the Americas. MaultsBy is particularly well known as a composer of sacred choral music, and is the author and composer of the books Afro-Centric Liturgical Music and Playing Gospel Piano: The Basics , as well as the founder and executive artistic director of Rejoicensemble!, a chamber vocal group dedicated to African American sacred music. A 2003–2009 member of the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music of the Episcopal Church, he is also the former director of music at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, NY and music associate at St. Philip's Church in Harlem, and currently serves as organist and music director at St. Richard's Episcopal Church in Winter Park, Florida. MaultsBy is the first cousin of distinguished scholar and ethnomusicologist, Dr. Portia K. Maultsby; they have collaborated on several projects.
Series 1 consists of MaultsBy's professional papers, which include several performance programs and photographs. Series 2 contains MaultsBy's collection of notated music, including several of his arrangments. Series 3 has MaultsBy's collected time-based media separated into four subseries: audiocassettes, LPs, CDs, and digital audio files.
