Educated
at Southampton and York Universities and a private pupil of Harrison
Birtwistle, Dominic Muldowney worked from 1976 with the Royal National Theatre
in London, from 1981 to 1997 as music director. His career has allowed him to
develop his dramatic gifts in incidental music for the theatre, film scores and
works for radio. He has also written a wide variety of music for the concert
hall, in a fundamentally diatonic musical language, tempered by the
contemporary.
