William "Havergal" Brian (29 January 1876 – 28 November 1972), was a British classical composer. Brian acquired a legendary status at the time of his rediscovery in the 1950s and 1960s for the 32 symphonies he had managed to write, an unusually large number for any composer since Haydn or Mozart, and of which eight were completed after the age of 90. He is also notable for his creative persistence in the face of almost total neglect during the greater part of his long life.

- William "Havergal" Brian (29 January 1876 – 28 November 1972), was a British classical composer. Brian acquired a legendary status at the time of his rediscovery in the 1950s and 1960s for the 32 symphonies he had managed to write, an unusually large number for any composer since Haydn or Mozart, and of which eight were completed after the age of 90. He is also notable for his creative persistence in the face of almost total neglect during the greater part of his long life. Even now, none of his works can be said to be performed with any frequency, but few composers who have fallen into neglect after an early period of success have continued to produce so many serious and ambitious works so long after any chance of performance would seem to have gone for good.

- Havergal Brian, né le 29 janvier 1876 à Dresden dans le Staffordshire et mort le 28 novembre 1972 à Shoreham-by-Sea dans le Sussex, était un compositeur et critique musical britannique. Outre des œuvres de musique de chambre ou vocales, il est l'auteur de 32 symphonies, ce qui en fait le symphoniste le plus prolifique entre Josef Haydn et Leif Segerstam. La Symphonie n° 1, dite "Gothique", en deux parties et six mouvements est la plus longue du répertoire (105 minutes de durée), mais seuls les trois premiers mouvements (35 minutes de musique) sont purement instrumentaux; la seconde partie est un colossal Te Deum pour chœurs, orchestre et orgue. Aussi, l'œuvre s'apparente plus à un oratorio, un peu à la manière de la huitième symphonie de Gustav Mahler. Comme critique musical, Brian a cultivé un style vif et acerbe qui n'est pas sans rappeler celui de George Bernard Shaw.
