   Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index William (Havergal) Brian January 29 November 28 ), was a British composer He acquired almost legendary status for two unusual reasons: the number of his symphonies (thirty-two, an unusually large number for any composer from Beethoven onwards), and the almost total neglect they received for several decades. Even today, after something of a revival of interest, not one of his works can be said to be performed with any frequency. While there are doubtless thousands of composers whose work has received total neglect, Brian is unusual in that he did achieve some early success, and then went on composing so many major works long after any chance of performance would seem to have gone for good. William Brian (he adopted the name "Havergal" from a local family of hymn -writers) was born in Dresden, a district of Stoke-on-Trent , and was one of a very small number of serious-music composers to originate from the English working class . After attending an elementary school he had difficulty finding any congenial work, and taught himself the rudiments of music . For a time he was organist of Odd Rode Church just across the border in Cheshire . In 1895 he heard a choir rehearsing Elgar 's King Olaf , attended the first performance and became a fervent enthusiast of the new music being produced by Richard Strauss and the British composers of the day. Through attending music festivals he made the lifelong friendship of his near-contemporary composer

    http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/brian.html
    
    Extractions: (d. Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex (England); 1972) English composer of the generation which followed Stanford, Elgar , Parry, etc (in other words: roughly contemporary with Vaughan Williams , Granville Bantock, Donald Tovey, Frank Bridge and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; older than Arthur Bliss, Walton , etc). Largely self-taught, Brian (William was his birth name; Havergal adopted in 1899) was best known as a composer in the period immediately prior to the Great War (WWI), when his short orchestral pieces were performed by Beecham, Wood, etc... after the war, few of his works were performed. Worked as a critic (later assistant editor) for the magazine "Musical Opinion" from 1922-40, where he championed the music of Schoenberg amongst others... despite this (and the advocacy of musical knights such as Bantock and Tovey), his own music remained in eclipse. Interest in the music of Brian was revived in the last years of his life through the efforts of the young Robert Simpson (then a producer with the BBC) amongst others; with performances of the "Gothic" Symphony and recordings of his symphonies by Myer Fredman, Charles Groves and Charles Mackerras. The Hong Kong-based Marco Polo label have been recording a cycle of the Brian symphonies with the assistance of the Havergal Brian Society (see below) and the Grateful Dead's Rex Foundation... at the present time, it isn't clear whether this cycle will be affected by the death of Jerry Garcia and the subsequent disbanding of the "Dead".

    Life, works, discography and selected bibliography from Hyperion Records.  
    http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/societies/brian.html
    
    Extractions: DAVID J BROWN The Havergal Brian Society exists to promote public knowledge of the work of William Havergal Brian (1876-1972) and, to this end, to support and sponsor its publication, performance, and recording. Brian was born on 29 January 1876 into a working-class Potteries family in Dresden, Staffordshire. He gained his first musical experience in church choirs and after leaving school at the age of 12 he was in some demand as a church organist. He learned the violin and 'cello, and played in local bands and orchestras. A local teacher gave him a thorough theoretical grounding, but he was virtually self-taught in composition. Nevertheless he rapidly acquired an invincible desire to be a composer and in thefirst decade of the 20th century began to make a name for himself. Some of his music was admired by Elgar, works of his were performed by conductors such as Henry Wood and Thomas Beecham, and for a number of years he and his family were supported by a wealthy Staffordshire businessman so that Brian would be free to compose. All this came to an abrupt end, however, just before the outbreak of World War 1, when various personal crises forced him to leave his home and family. In London he failed to consolidate such musical reputation as he had gained, and for many years he supported a growing second family with a series of menial jobs, often in some poverty.

    http://www.hnh.com/composer/brian.htm
    
    Extractions: The English composer Havergal Brian, in a long career, made little concession to the practical economies of performance in a series of orchestral compositions on a grand scale, including 32 symphonies, many of which were for long denied professional performance. The massive Gothic Symphony, the first of these, was written between 1919 and 1927 and includes a setting of the Te Deum. The last symphony was written in 1968. Havergal Brian's works are now at last winning a hearing, after earlier neglect. His musical language is complex but tonal and however eccentric he is never less than impressive.

    Extractions: ISBN 0907689191 , 0907689205 (paperback) I suppose most people see the cultural landscape as a feudal one - a lone, high tower representing the great artist, dominating a plain inhabited by everybody else. We talk of the Age of Beethoven or perhaps of Brahms and Wagner or Haydn and Mozart and in so doing get a rather distorted view of what really went on. Britain for the longest time seemed peculiarly susceptible to the inability to hold more than one composer in its head at any one time. Elgar crowded out his contemporaries. Vaughan Williams overshadowed several interesting composers. Britten did the same, blotting out even such formidable figures as Walton and Tippett. Britain, of course, isn't alone in this. For some reason, people want to know the Absolute Best, rather than the merely wonderful. The concept of absolute best holds almost no aesthetic attraction or interest for me. Further, I find it without any valid practical consequence. If I listen to only the Absolute Best, I wind up listening to only one work, a dismal thought. I view good composers as individuals. In my ignorance, I hold Vorisek as a fabulous composer, whose music gives me something I like that's not what any other composer's music gives me. To call one better than another is like asking me which of my family I like best. Havergal Brian lived during one of the most vital periods of British music, the so-called British Renaissance, which scholars tend to date from Parry and Stanford. Fine composers cover the ground, and not just the big names: Delius, Ireland, Bridge, Holst, Leigh, Chagrin, Cooke, Goossens, Delius, Bax, Arnold, Alwyn, Addison, Leighton, Rubbra, Berners, Clarke, Joseph, Dyson, Sorabji, Smyth, Foulds, Scott, Maconchy, Grainger, Jacob, Frankel, Searle, Rawsthorne, Maw, Brian himself, and the list goes on. Brian heard a staggering amount of it, as well as composers from the continent. He recognized the genius of Mahler and Bruckner as soon as the early 1900s. On one side or the other of the edge of poverty all his life and with no substantial recognition of his music until near its end, he made his meager living as a musical journalist and copyist. The journalism got him free tickets to performances, and the reviews provide the proof that he went to as many as he could.
