A voiceless velar stop

Wondering how to pronounce Tranchell? The Ripon Lay Clerks found it hard to believe that the "ch" in Tranchell was a [k] and not a [], so we offered to print this on every score:

The composer is Peter A. Tranchell.

His surname rhymes nicely with “ankle”.

The silence of the “H”

Is not up for debate,

So please don’t allow it to rankle.
