California composer Paul Gibson (b. 1952) received degrees in composition from Mount St. Mary’s College, Los Angeles, and California State University, Northridge. He has studied with Matt Doran, Frank Campo, Aurelio de la Vega, Ian Krouse, and John Harbison. In 1987 he was commissioned to arrange hymns for the Los Angeles papal visit. In 1993, G.I.A. released A Mass of Life, a critically acclaimed CD collection of his sacred music. In 1996, he took part in the Composers Symposium of the Oregon Bach Festival, where three of his works were performed. For its 15th anniversary in 2001, the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus commissioned him to compose Suite: Alice Through a Looking-Glass, which was included in Sing!, the Academy Award-nominated documentary about the group. Gibson's It Fell Upon the High Midnight for cello and chorus was co-winner of the 2005 Christmas Carol Competition sponsored by the American Composers Forum and VocalEssence. Scheduled for broadcast in December 2005, the piece is now published by ECS. Gibson was twice selected in the Pacific Composers Forum Commissioning Circle Program and was a winner in the Fifth Annual PCF Competition for New Music. He has received the Owen Award from Oregon Catholic Press, for outstanding achievement in the field of liturgical music, and CREATOR magazine named his Veni Sancte Spiritus one of the ten best sacred works of 2001. Gibson’s choral works have been broadcast on hundreds of radio stations across North America. His music is published by ECS, Alliance, Fatrock Ink, OCP, G.I.A., and Morningstar, and has been performed by Paul Salamunovich, Grant Gershon and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Debussy Trio, Richard Proulx, Zephyr, the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, and the Los Angeles Chamber Singers, among many others.
