Irving Fine CollectionGuides to Special Collections in the Music DivisionLibrary of Congress, Washington DC, 1997 Contents: Introduction | Scope and Content | Biographical Sketch | Description of Series | Container List IntroductionThe Irving Fine Collection consists of materials given to the Library
of Congress from 1964 through 1991 by Verna Fine (Mrs. Irving Fine). In
addition, the collection includes the manuscripts of Fine's "Romanza
for Wind Quintet," a 1962 Library of Congress Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Commission and the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation commission
of his "String Quartet" (1952). Scope and ContentThe bulk of the materials in the collection are musical scores and sketches which represent virtually the entire musical output of the composer. Among these materials are manuscripts for "Alice in Wonderland" (1942); "The Hour Glass" (1949), a cycle for unaccompanied chorus to texts by Ben Johnson; "Mutability," a song cycle for contralto and piano originally commissioned by the Creative Concerts Guild, Inc., in 1952; and "Serious Song" (1955), for string orchestra; and "Symphony (1962)," which was performed by the Boston Symphony shortly before Fine's death in 1962.In addition to the collection's music manuscripts there is an assortment of photographs, clippings, programs, scrapbooks and correspondence from 20th century musicians such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss, Alberto Ginastera, Ned Rorem, William Schumann and others which further documents Irving Fine's career. Forty unpublished tapes presented to the Library by Verna Fine in 1969 feature recordings of concert, broadcast, and private performance of the composer's works. Fine himself is the piano accompanist for a number of songs, including the cycles "Mutability" and "Childhood Fables for Grownups." These materials are in the custody of the Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress. An inventory is included on file. This finding aid serves as a cross index to the materials that are housed in the collection as well as those which had been previously cataloged as ML96.F47, ML 96.5.F47, ML30.3C.F55 [Case] and ML29C.F527. Processed by: Biographical SketchIrving Fine, American composer, teacher and conductor, was born in Boston, Massachusetts on December 3, 1914. He received both his Bachelor's (1937) and Master's (1938) degrees from Harvard University, where he studied with Walter Piston. In addition, he studied composition with Nadia Boulanger in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Paris, France and pursued studies in choral conducting with A. T. Davison and orchestral conducting with Serge Koussevitzky. From 1939 until 1950, when he was appointed professor at Brandeis University, he also taught at Harvard.Fine was chairman of the Brandeis School of Creative Arts and served on the
composition staff of the Tanglewood Music Center (formerly the Berkshire Music
Center). He received two Guggenheim Fellowships, a Fulbright Research
Fellowship for France, and many other awards. In addition to his composing,

America," and "The New York Times." Irving Fine died
in Boston in 1962.
