George Rosenkrans (Jan 17, 1881-Aug. 18, 1955) was an American composer of concert band music 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.
As interest in his music declined, he would sell new arrangements for as little as 50 cents, or give compositions away outright.
He missed a 1948 tribute by the Navy Band because he felt he had no suitable clothes.
