His father Henry John Brown was an electrical engineer and later professional cellist while his mother Lois was a junior school teacher.[2] James also had a brother named Tom being a chartered engineer and a sister called Dulcie who has been a civil servant, a missionary and a music teacher of celo and classical guitar.[2] He was trained in singing and organ-playing by Jonathan Job, the Ipswich Borough Organist, then himself became organist and choirmaster at All Hallows' Church.[3][4] In 1941 he left Northgate School and won a choral studentship to St John's College, Cambridge, but his studies were interrupted by war service.[2] He resumed study after his return in 1945, and was then appointed as organ student.[3] From 1948 until retirement in 1983 he was a lecturer, then senior lecturer, in the music department of the University of Leeds. He was active as a composer throughout this time. In 1951 he was asked by his friend Allan Wicks to write the music for the first major revival of the York Mystery Plays,[5] which were a triumphant success. In 1961–1962 he took a year's leave to study with Boris Porena in Rome.[3] He made his home in Kirkstall until 2003. Subsequently he moved to Bridlington, where he died on 21 December 2004.[4] Published works in printSee [3][6]
