Education and career
Trimble was born in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. She studied piano at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, Dublin, and music at Trinity College in Dublin, 1936, BMUS 1936), London, and 1969 (piano with Arthur Benjamin and composition with Herbert Howells and Ralph Vaughan Williams).
She first came to prominence as part of her sister Valerie (1917-1980), winning the first prize at a Belfast music competition as early as 1925. Joan also created a number of pieces for two pianos that were performed by the pair. The RCM's 1938 recital, at which they appeared three of them, was their breakthrough. Other composers wrote for them, including Jamaican Rumba by Arthur Benjamin, which became a signature tune for the pair. The Cobbett Prize for chamber music was awarded to Trimble's Phantasy Trio (1940). The sisters also performed modern music, including works by Stravinsky, Dallapiccola, Arthur Bliss, and Lennox Berkeley, and in public until 1970. Trimble married in 1942 and had children, which limited her compositional output. Blind Raftery's opera in 1957 was the third opera directed by the BBC for television and the first television opera by a female composer. She taught piano at the RCM from 1959 to 1977, with the years since 1967 moving from Northern Ireland.
Joan Trimble's music is reminiscent of her day. She infused impressionist harmonic language she had learned during her time with Annie Lord with melodic and rhythmic inflections derived from Irish traditional music. Her arrangements for two pianos in Ireland are not different from her original compositions in terms of stylistic terms. In the Sonatina for two pianos (1940) and the impressive song cycle The County Mayo (1949), her most modern music will be discovered. Trimble's music is always melodic, tastefully written, and rewarding for performers.
After her father's death in 1967, she began to work on his newspaper, The Impartial Reporter in Enniskillen, and cared for her husband, who had been seriously ill for decades. She regained some interest in the 1990s when she was asked for a new composition and the first recordings of her music appeared. She died in Enniskillen only two weeks after her husband died.
