Petriarch is a spiritual short film released in March 2012, originally inspired by the photography of Rick Stear. The film features another of our photography collaborators, Mike Kinsey, who portrays the dying father. The score is built around the Father's Theme, which was first introduced in Darkness (2011), intended as a major theme for the aborted Sunrise project. It is heard most prominently in "Petriarch / Joy" and in piano form in "Pride". Following the father's passing, the first two notes of the motif play in "Coda", although the statement remains uncompleted, as an indicator of the father's demise.
The film's second primary motif is the Son's Theme (or Journey Theme), first appearing in track two, "Son's Journey", and again in "Pride", "The Calling" and "The Credits". It was also optioned for reuse in both Coming Home and Resurgence, although the final cuts of both replace the theme with original cues.
