All the memories revived by looking at my school music books. · Date: Sat July 28, 2007 · Views: 516 · Additional Info Print View · Send as e-Card

I found the Spirituals with a dedication to the Hayes Girls Choir on the Musicroom site. I'm so pleased that his name is living on. Maybe there should be a plaque for him at the school!

I just did a Google search and quite a few things came up, and it seems you Briant Trant arrangements are sold by the Oxford University Press. I had no idea.

Although I had no formal musical education, I regard Brian as one of two musicians who taught me much in an informal way. (The other was Anthony Hopkins, not the actor but a composer and pianist back in the 50'a and 60's.

She should be remembered too as a good music-teacher. Thankyou, Jon, for the link to all those pieces we used to sing. I am trying to recall the Riddle Song but all the others I remember and have copies of most in Mr Trant's manuscript. Have just noticed your earlier post, Jon. I think that there were other publishers besides Oxford University Press, possibly Novellos. They have been taken over now, I believe. There is also a company in the U.S.A. selling his work. mheawood Registered: September 2005 Posts: 498 Sun July 29, 2007 01:13 I am told that the Riddle Song could be the song we know as The Twelfth of Never that Johnny Mathis sang. Maybe David would know if this is correct? David Humber Registered: March 2007 Location: Staines, Middlesex Posts: 177 Mon July 30, 2007 19:45 Sorry, Marian, but neither title is familiar to me.
