In addition to his activities as a conductor (choirs, wind ensembles and orchestras), Paul Huber has been active as a voice and piano teacher in St. Gallen.
He died in St. Gallen on February 25 2001
Huber’s compositions employ a late post-romantic style as well as elements from Swiss folk music. It is a graphic, dramatic musical language that can be understood by a wide audience.
Der Damon, one of his most famous works, is dated 1966 and is a symphonic study on the ancient "Dies Irae" of the Catholic Tradition. The atmosphere is dark but lyric, most important parts are played by brass instruments (shadows) with sudden breaks of woodwinds (lights). Darfo Boario Terme Banda Cittadina performed this composition first in 1989 when it was not published yet in Italy (it was bought in Swiss indeed).
