Dent Mowrey (1888–1960) was an American composer, musician and music teacher who lived in Oregon from 1916 until his death in 1960.

Early life
His birthplace isn't known for certain, but he grew up in Ogden, Utah. His father was a housepainter and his mother a dressmaker. As a child, Mowrey visited Oregon with his mother and fell in love with the state. His musical talents led him to the prestigious Leipzig Conservatory in Germany.  After graduation he studied composition with Claude Debussy and gave recitals in Paris, including at the Sorbonne. Upon returning to the United States in 1916, Mowrey settled in Portland as a concert pianist, teacher, and composer.

Mowrey as teacher
In 1928 Mowrey convinced the owner of the new Pacific Building, then the tallest building in Portland, to build a piano studio on the rooftop. Students rode the elevator to the roof and took lessons in the glass-walled studio, playing alongside Mowrey on one of two rare 9-foot Chickering grand pianos. According to Dolores Hsu, a student in the early 1940s, the acoustics were spectacular, and the music floated out from the rooftop garden that few below knew existed.

An early and influential member of the Oregon Music Teachers Association, Mowrey created music that other teachers valued for developing their students’ technique. At least a dozen of these works were published by G. Schirmer. Mowrey was also an early member of the Society of Oregon Composers and the Musicians Club of Portland.

Mowrey as composer
Mowrey composed for the piano, vocal ensembles, band, woodwind and string ensembles, and orchestra. The Portland Symphony Society, now known as the Oregon Symphony, premiered several of his works starting with "The Gargoyles of Notre Dame" on the orchestra's first national radio broadcast in 1927. 

While living abroad, he journeyed through the North African Sahara with a Beduoin caravan to research the native music there. His "Bedouin Melody" was performed by the Portland Symphony.  His "Piano Concerto (Africa)", which he played with a number of West Coast symphonies, gave his impression of the contrasting civilizations of ancient and
