in 1953. He studied composition privately in Madrid with Miguel Ángel Coria
from 1976 to 1981 as well as graduating with a degree in piano from the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Baleares in Majorca in 1982. He took his Master of Music
degree in Composition in 1985 at Indiana University where he studied under the Chile

". After teaching at Ithaca College
, Northern Illinois University
, and Eastman School of Music
, he became Professor of Music Theory and Composition at the University of Cincinnati – College-Conservatory of Music. Although the majority of his published articles relate to 16th century Spanish music and its composers, he has also written on atonal music and on the 20th century composer, György Ligeti
. His first textbook, Harmony in Context, was published by McGraw-Hill
in 2003 and is now in its second edition. This was followed in 2006 by Understanding Post-Tonal Music (also published by McGraw-Hill).
Roig-Francolí's career as a composer began in the late 1970s while he was a student of Miguel Ángel Coria. His first work, Espejismos (Mirages), premiered at the Festival Internacional de Barcelona in 1977. His most famous work, Cinco Piezas para Orquesta, was a commission by Spanish National Radio
and composed in 1980. After winning the 1981 National Composition Competition of the Spanish Jeunesses Musicales, it was premiered by the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra at Madrid's Teatro Real
in 1982, and subsequently won second prize at the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers (Paris, 1982). The work, described by musicologist Antoni Pizà
as an "absolute pioneer" in introducing the postmodern
aesthetic to Spanish music, has since been performed in Spain by the Orquesta Nacional de España
(conducted by Jesús López Cobos), Orquestra Ciutat de Barcelona, Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid, and Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears. The score has formed the basis for two ballets: La Espera (choreographed by Ray Barra and performed by the Ballet Nacional del Teatro de la Zarzuela in 1987) and Five Elements (choreographed by Jiang Qi and performed by Dance China NY in 2010). After 1987, he concentrated primarily on his academic research and teaching but returned to composing in 2003 in what he has described as a personal reaction to the Iraq War: "Following the Iraq war and other events, I returned to composition as a way to engage with the world around me." The works from this second creative period often have spiritual themes and are based on sacred texts and the melodies of Gregorian chant. They include the choral works Dona eis requiem (In memory of the innocent victims of war and terror) (premiered by Orquestra Simfònica de les Illes Balears and Coral Cármina in 2006), Antiphon and Psalms for the Victims of Genocide (premiered by the Orquesta y Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid
in 2008), and Missa pro pace (premiered by the Orquestra Simfònica i Cor Ciutat de Eivissa in 2008). One of Roig-Francolí's most recent works, Songs of the Infinite, was commissioned by the Foundation for Iberian Music
and is dedicated to his wife, the violinist Jennifer Roig-Francolí. It premiered at Carnegie Hall
on October 24, 2010.
