Arnold Rosner, who taught piano and composition at Wagner from the early 1970s until the 1980s, died on his 68th birthday, November 8, 2013, in Brooklyn. According to musicologist Walter Simmons, “Rosner was one of the true maverick composers of his generation.” He composed more than 100 works, many performed and even premiered on campus by Wagner students and faculty. His Consort Music for 5 Viols, op. 75, was dedicated to the late Ron Cross, longtime Wagner music professor. He received a doctorate in music from the University at Buffalo, and he taught for several decades at Kingsborough Community College.
