George Rosenkrans (Jan 17, 1881-Aug.  18, 1955) was a noted American composer of concert band music.  He was born in Penfield, Pennsylvania on January 17, 1881.  His father was the music director of the local Methodist church, and George sang with the choir and learned to play the organ there.  His first compositions included organ music and hymns.  He also played the baritone horn in the town band, and eventually became the conductor.  He composed his first march at age 17, and was soon turning out as many as 8 new marches each year.  As interest in his music declined, he would sell new arrangements for as little as 50 cents, or give compositions away outright.  In later life, he composed many works for the Grampian Band in nearby Grampian, Pennsylvania, his favorite group, including the "Grampian March".  He missed a 1948 tribute by the Navy Band because he didn't believe he had any suitable clothes.  He died in poverty in Penfield on August 18, 1955.

His music can often reflect themes that bring to mind different cultures. Fred Onovwerosuoke (born 1960) is an American composer born in Ghana of Nigerian parents.  He is a multiple winner of the ASCAP Award, among other awards such as the America Music Center Award, Brannen-Cooper Fund Award, and the Minnesota Orchestra Honorable Mention.  “FredO,” as he is called by friends and colleagues was born in Secondi-Takoradi, near the Atlantic Coast in Ghana, West Africa.  Early childhood and education through college years were spent in both Ghana and Nigeria.  In 1990, he attended Principia College, Elsah, Illinois, on a full scholarship, and while there studied music theory and 20th Century composition techniques under Jim Dowcett, as well as Engineering Science and Computer programming with David Cornell and Tom Fuller.  Although Onovwerosuoke has had a wide-ranging training that spans composition, electrical and electronic engineering, information technology, management and musicology, he is known to attribute his interest in music to his childhood as boy-soprano and to his high-school music teacher, Sam Anyanele, who instilled him a deep love of indigenous African music.  His tutelage under Dowcett at Principia was said to unleash a creative individualism that eventually evolved into a career as a composer with works that bear influences from Africa, the Caribbean and the American Deep South.
