- Wilfred Brown (1922-1971) was an accomplished English tenor. He was born in Horsham, Sussex and educated at Collyer's School, then at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and Trinity College of Music. Brown was a lifelong member of the Religious Society of Friends. He was Master in charge of Music at Bedales before becoming a full-time musician. Like fellow Petersfield resident Michael John Hurd, he championed the work of Gerald Finzi, who was a personal friend. In 1957, at St James' Square, London, Brown gave the first performance of Till Earth Outwears, a posthumous collection of Finzi's settings of poems by Thomas Hardy. In 1963 he recorded what is often cited as the definitive performance of the composer's Dies natalis (Op.8) with the English Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of the composer's son, Christopher Finzi. He had previously studied the work with the composer and had been his choice in several performances. He was a great friend of the guitarist John Williams and recorded a noted collection of English folk songs with him. Brown died in Petersfield from a brain tumour on 5 March 1971, aged 49. In his last recital, given at Highclere Castle in Hampshire, he had sung Dies Natalis.
