Robert J Roth

American Artist, Painter and Composer. Born 1957 in Bloomington, Illinois. Raised in Marin County, California.
Began writing and composing music in Classical, Romantic and modern Neo-Classical genres in the early 1970s. Worked with the Marin Youth Symphony Orchestra (with Hugo Rinaldi) in 1975, the Santa Clara Youth Orchestra (with George Champion) in 1977, and the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra in 1997. Most of my works are inspired by family, friends, places, events and legend. Many are from the earliest period of the 1970s. My genres include; Classical, neo-Classical, Romantic, modern Pop Orchestral, Americana, Patriotic, Easy-Listening, Children's Music, Folk, Fantasy, World music. Today all my works are presented electronically due to shortage of orchestras. I have composed two symphonies, several orchestral suites, symphonic poems, chamber music, and collections of Children's music and other topics. All of my works are available for easy listening and viewing on my Youtube channel; printed orchestral scores and parts available on request. My music is tonal, harmonious, upbeat, positive and structured mostly in either song or classical forms. I use standard orchestral combinations (woods, brass, strings, timpani), and often include various percussion, piano and harp, wordless chorus, organ.
