It features some of the finest performances of Grant and Hepburn’s careers, and is arguably one of the most beautiful films of its era. It has, also, always been one of my favorite movies. Charade (1963): Alternate Edit Film Score for Chamber Orchestra was written as a commission from the Los Angeles-based composers collective, Unequal Fifths, of which I am a founding member. It was written for my chamber group, the Martians, a modified Pierrot Ensemble (oboe, Bb clarinet, piano, synthesizer, electric guitar, harp, violin I, violin II, violoncello, and double bass). The Martians have been performing my original works throughout the Los Angeles Area, along with works by my colleagues Dr. Christian Dubeau and Dr. Christine Lee, for nearly a decade. For this concert project, which was sponsored by Unequal Fifths Composer Collective, and called "The Martians at the Movies!", our brief was to compose new film scores to films that were in the public domain. Charade ranks high on my list of favorite films for many reasons, not the least of which are its stunning technicolor beauty (characteristic of its era), its masterful blend of comedy and thrills, and the pitch-perfect Rom-Com dialogue and action. All of these elements are the work of the masterful director, Stanley Donen (An American in Paris [1951] and Singin' in the Rain [1952]). I must also acknowledge the enormous debt owed by me to the legendary, original score by the incomparable Henry Mancini. I consciously tried to avoid certain stylistic choices, musical gestures, and orchestrations that Mancini used in his score, out of respect, as much as anything else, but there are, undoubtedly and unavoidably, some similarities between our scores. I could not fail to be influenced by his masterful scoring of this film, with which I am very familiar. In fact, some of the things that Mancini did are so brilliant and so perfect for the film that it was nearly impossible to avoid doing some version of them myself. They are simply “right” for the film. That said, I hope that my score will be seen as a bit of a tribute to Mancini, as well as an alternate musical possibility, and, thanks to very heavy editing of the film, not truly analogous to Mancini’s work. My music for Charade is the result of the many edits that I made to the film, and an expression of my love for the film, as well as my musical telling of this beautiful (and sometimes surprising) love story, full of twists and turns.

Departments of Music, Comparative Literature/German Program, History of Art, and UCR ARTS present Metropolis Multi-Media Event. The Metropolis Multi-Media Event follows the inspiration of Fritz Lang’s large-sized ‘marriage of the arts’ while rediscovering the historical roots from which it arose – the interplay of filmic art and live performance. These audiovisual performances by UCR students, faculty, and guest artists are standalone performances that respond to and vary themes of “Metropolis” implementing digital visual arts, electronic music and piano performed live. Performed live, Friday November 17, 2017 at UCR ARTS' Culver Center of the Arts. Patrick Gibson Music Inspired by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) video, live piano and digital orchestra (2017) – 9'30" I. Maria II. Interlude III. a) Rotwang’s Laboratory; b) The Experiment; c) The Transformation Music Inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927), for live piano and digital orchestra, is a multimedia work employing scenes from the film, and focusing on three characters: Maria, the heroine; Rotwang, the corrupted scientist; and The Man-Machine, an abomination born of Science that threatens Maria’s individuality and spreads a false “gospel” of violence and chaos. The images give rise to the music, which, in turn, gives voice to characters from a distant past. Patrick Gibson is a composer, electric guitarist, educator, and Ph.D. student in the Digital Composition Program at UCR. He holds an M.M. in Composition from Cal State Long Beach, an M.Ed. from National University, and a B.A. in Music Theory/Voice from Loyola Marymount. Works include: Missa Familiae Sanctae (SATB/Pierrot Ensemble), Speed Metal through the Viewfinder (String Quartet), Sonata for Electric Guitar (Rock Power Trio), and Mars Chamber Symphony (Modified Pierrot plus Harp).

Facing Fire is an exhibition that explores western wildfires as omen and elemental force, as metaphor and searing personal experience. Fire tends to spread. So, too, does the meaning of fire. Sixteen artists bring us photographs, paintings, drawings, ceramic, and video as they face fire, sift its aftermath, and struggle with the implications. UCR ARTS is collaborating UCR's Department of Music to present original compositions created by students and faculty around artworks found in the exhibition. The faculty and student composers in the UCR Music Department work in a variety of media drawn from influences that range from hip-hop to experimental electronic music. The approaches for each piece within the Facing Fire project are highly individualized. Some works are fully scored compositions for classical instruments, others use external source material and text taken from other mediums, such as video game soundtracks and news reports. Their compositions are a testament to the importance of expressing one's creative impulses during times of uncertainty and isolation. Patrick Gibson is a composer, songwriter, educator, electric guitarist, and vocalist based in Anaheim, California. He is the General Music Teacher and Choir Director at Cubberley K-8 School, Fremont Elementary School, and Patrick Henry Dual Immersion Elementary School in the Long Beach Unified School District.

He composes and conducts concert music for his chamber group, the Martians, and has composed pieces for ensembles and artists from around the world, including members of the California E.A.R. Unit; flutist Sarah Carrier; the Robin Cox Trio; HUB New Music Ensemble; Transient Canvas; ensemble PHASE (South Korea); the Argus Quartet; the Eclipse Quartet; the Friction Quartet; Los Angeles Percussion Quartet; ensemble Fret; PHAZE Ensemble (University of Redlands); guitarist, Pedro López de la Osa; cellist, Maksim Velichkin; pianists, Christian Dubeau and Soo Lee Biancalana; saxophonist, Kelsey Broersma; and harpist, Gracie Sprout.
