Garry Wickliffe's Film Scoring page can be found here.
Garry Wickliffe is a published composer of concert music, film music, and various other genres of music. He currently resides in Nacogdoches, Texas, where he is working towards his Master's Degree in Music Composition at Stephen F. Austin State University under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen Lias. Garry is also working as the Graduate Assistant for the Music Theory & Composition Department at SFA.
Garry has made it a goal in his studies to diversify himself in the area of music composition as much as possible. He has composed numerous compositions for the concert stage, ranging in style from art songs, to accompanied solo instrument works, to the more traditional ensembles, such as string quartets and trombone choirs. He received his first publication of concert music in 2006: "Trouble Brewing," for Brass Quintet, and "O'er the Deep Blue Sea," for 6 part Trombone Choir were published by BrassWorks 4, and are available for sale. In 2007 Garry won his first ASCAPLUS Standard Award, for his musical and compositional accomplishments from 2006 - 2007.
Garry has also included this diversification in his capabilities as a composer and musician.
He thoroughly enjoys arranging works of all types; in December of 2006 he was asked by Dr. Tim King, the A Capella Choir Director at SFASU, to arrange several traditional carols for choir, organ, percussion and brass ensemble to compliment John Rutter's "Gloria." The set of carols, entitled "Songs of the Angels" was published by BrassWorks 4, and are available for sale. He has also arranged various pieces for friends and colleagues and is a capable transcriptionist.
He has also worked as an orchestrator. In the spring 2006 performance of Offenbach's "La Perichole," (In which he also starred as the baritone lead, Don Andres) he was asked to fill in two separate numbers for full orchestra from a piano transcription due to a score rental error.
Garry is also an accomplished film composer, having scored numerous films or varying styles and genres. His film accomplishments and examples of his work can be seen and heard at his film scoring page here.
A vocalist by nature, Garry has not given up his roots as a performer. He performed in four high school musicals during his schooling at Hudson High School, including such roles as Sky Masterson in "Guys and Dolls," and Charlie Brown in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." He was also asked to return during his freshman semester of college to participate as various small roles in the performance of "Honk." He has also starred in three of SFASU's spring operas; in spring 2005's performance of Strauss' "Die Fledermaus," he performed in the chorus and the spoken dialogue character Frosch, and in spring 2006's performance of Offenbach's "La Perichole," he performed as the lead baritone Don Andres. In spring 2007's unabridged performance of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," he performed the baritone role of Count Almaviva.
Garry hopes to one day write music for either film or video games. He honestly admits at this point that he would write music for whatever venue that would allow him to, but hopes one day to make his place among the great Hollywood composers and/or among the modern day composers of video games. He hopes to find some work after the completion of his Master's Degree, but plans to start work on his Doctoral Degree should jobs in the music composition field become sparse.
