Grant had been noticed by Paul Hindemith and was invited to become his student, but as Grant and Helen fell in love and married, they decided he would be the pianist and Helen the composer.
As Grant's career took off and he was more and more on the road, Helen returned to Salt Lake with her infant son and lived with her family.
And so, years later, as Grant Johannesen began to unearth the neglected scores of Helen Taylor, a network of interested family and friends brought them to the attention of Robert Cundick and the Heritage Series, who gradually undertook the project of recording her body of work.
