About Me |
|
| Roman Molino Dunn, is a devoted eccentric concentric contrapuntist. He is completely and obsessively concerned with counterpoint (the inter-weaving of multiple melodies into one beautiful musical composition) and the nature of suspensions and ornamentations. But above all, he believes the point of writing music is to capture beauty so that it may be forever found. Roman Molino Dunn graduated from Moravian Academy Highschool in 2003, and completed his joint Bachelors and Master's Degree (BA/MA) in Music Composition and Theory at Hunter College in NYC. He was enrolled in an accelerated degree program that allows qualified students the opportunity to complete both their undergraduate and graduate work all in four years. Roman Molino Dunn's Prelude and Offering is currently published by Gold Branch Music (http://www.goldbranchmusic.com). Roman was the recipient of the 2005 Libby Van Arsdale Memorial Scholarship Prize in Music Theory/History (from Hunter College). Also the winner of the 2002 MCAC YME Award for his Song Cycle "4 Facets" (Awarded by the Monroe County Arts Council of PA). He was the recipient of the 2006 Orpheus Music Composition Competition (New South Wales, Australia) recorder ensemble award. His composition Recorder Sinfonia 18 is published by Orpheus Music. Roman studied composition foremost with Shafer Mahoney and Christopher Theofanidis. He has also studied with Allen Anderson, Michael Annicchiarico, Poundie Burstein, Mark Spicer, and mathematics and computation in counterpoint with John Rogers. While in high school Roman studied with Jenny Collins, Gail Grossman, Eric Doney, and Neil Wetzel. He has tutored in counterpoint, harmony, and keyboard proficiency both privately, and for undergraduate Hunter University music students. He has composed the music for The New School Film Professor Douglas Morse's (of Grandfather Films) movie, The Summoning of Everyman, distributed by Grand Father Films. His piece In Memory of Paul F. Gilligan III was performed in October of 2006 at a dedication hosted by the Paul F. Gilligan III Foundation. His sacred works have been performed in local NYC churches, most notably Church of the Holy Cross (W. 42nd St.). Roman presented his paper Discrete Melodic Set Theory: Abstract Algebraic Approach to Counterpoint at the 2007 Conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music in Berlin, Germany. Roman is represented by MusicSupervisor.com under Roman Molino Dunn and the pseudonym ElectroPoint . Roman works as a music transcriber, arranger, copyist, and engraver for hire in the NYC area ( The Music Transcriber ), and is an active member of ASCAP, American Music Center (AMC), Music Theory Society of New York State (MTSNYS), and the Society for Music Theory (SMT).
