Biography

Danner was born May 16, 1958, in St. Louis, Missouri. He studied composition at Southeast Missouri State University, the Eastman School of Music, and Washington University in St. Louis where he received his Ph.D. He studied composition under Charles Smith, Samuel Adler, and Robert Wykes. Danner is known primarily as a composer of music for wind bands but has composed for choirs and various chamber ensembles. He is part of a generation of American composers advocating for the American wind ensemble's place in classical music and writes to expand the repertoire of classical wind music. Danner's awards include the College Band Directors National Association Music for Young Band prize, vocal category; grand prize in the Delius Society composition contest; first prize in the Taghkanic Chorale composers competition; and the Louisiana Music Teachers Association and Kentucky Music Teachers Association Composer Commission Awards. He is a three-time winner in the annual Composers Guild composition contest, and in 2010 he was awarded the contest's Grand Prize. Danner has received annual ASCAP awards for composition since 1989. In addition to his composing, Danner is active as a hornist in several orchestras, brass ensembles, and chamber groups in the middle Tennessee region.

Danner's works are published by C. Alan Publications, Daehn Publications, Grand Mesa Music Publishers, TRN, Cimarron Music, Tuba-Euphonium Press, Bourne Music, and Medici Music Press.
