DREAMING OF DYLAN

FEATURED MEMBER > MARC ROSETT

Meet MARC ROSETT.....

Marc has written songs in a wide variety of styles, ranging from

Classical art songs and Musical Theatre, to Country, Folk, Americana, and Pop. His 9 / 11 Anniversary Anthem, "Take The Time", is performed live every year at some of the largest commemorative events around town. The same goes for his albums of original Christmas Music every year in December, all throughout New York City.

Marc is lucky enough to count among his mentors Stephen Schwartz, who painstakingly sat with him, pouring over his lyrics and song structures when he was in the earlier, formative stages of his development as a songwriter. As such, lyrics have always been a point of emphasis in his songs, often written before, or certainly at the same time as, the music is written. Thanks go out to Michael Kerker and Fran Richard over at ASCAP, for their guidance on, and support of his songs in the Musical Theater and

Classical genres, respectively.

Each year the ASCAP Foundation turns to the Collective to help find the right song for the JAY GORNEY Award established by the Gorney family. Jay Gorney was a long-time ASCAP member and composer who, along with lyricist E. Y. “Yip” Harburg, wrote the 1930’s classic, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” which became the anthem of the Great Depression. The Collective is pleased to announce that Marc's song, THE WINDS OF CHANGE is the 2019 recipient of the award. Congrats Marc!!!
