Stephen Brodie Gibson (b. 1957) is a British composer of contemporary classical music and music notation designer.[1]
Biography and career
[edit]Stephen Gibson was born in East Barnet, London into a musical family. His father Arthur[2] was a professional organist whose arrangements were published by Ashdown, Cramer and other publishers[3]. He studied composition at Birmingham University[4] where his teachers were John Casken, John Joubert, and later Bill Hopkins. Between 1982 and 1984 he studied music theatre at The Banff Centre of Fine Arts, Alberta, Canada[5] with composer Stephen McNeff and poet Charles Causley.
His music has been heard at the Huddersfield Festival[6] and on Radio 3[7], and performers have included the Endymion, Koenig[8] and Altissimo[9] Ensembles, Still Life with Guitar[10], Michael Finnissy[11], BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and London New Wind[12] . Stephen’s music is published by UMP[1]
As an engraver, he was an early adopter of the SCORE music notation program written by Prof. Leland Smith of Stanford University.[13] He co-founded the company New Notations[14] to offer music preparation services using SCORE, and developed programs for midi playback, midi input and conditional score editing - Midiscor[15], MidiscorWrite[16] and ScorEdit[17] - to add additional functionality for SCORE users. He wrote the SCORE converter[18] for Sibelius which was part of the program until version 5.
