ROGER CICHY (b. 1956)
 Roger
Cichy has a diverse background as both a composer/arranger and a music
educator. Roger holds Bachelor of Music and Master of Arts in Music
Education degrees from the Ohio State University. Although both are in the
area of music education, he has studied composition and arranging as a second
area of concentration during both programs. As a music educator, Cichy has
had a successful career as a band director at levels ranging from elementary
school to college. In 1995, he resigned his position at Iowa State
University to devote full-time to composing and arranging. As a freelance
composer and arranger, Cichy writes for high school and college bands,
professional orchestras, and the commercial music industry. He has over
275 compositions and arrangements accredited to his name. Included in
those works are several published by C. Alan, along with Kendor Music, Psyclone
Music, Heritage Music, Great Works Publishing, Band Music Press, Daehn
Publications, Wingert-Jones Music, MSB Publishing, and Permus
Publications. His composition mentors include Edward Montgomery, Marshall
Barnes, and Joseph Levey. Cichy has received numerous composition awards
from The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers for serious
music. His works range from small ensemble literature to compositions and
arrangements for marching band, concert band, and symphony orchestra. He
is widely sought as a composer for commissions, and frequently appears as a
composer-in-residence and guest conductor.
