 Classical Net Review - Fine - Blue Towers, etc.
Irving Fine, a composer roughly contemporary with Bernstein and who died young, made his career in Boston and taught for many years at Harvard and Brandeis.
Fine's music, however, is bright and beautiful, rhythmically exciting, argumentatively attractive and focused, and glittering in its colors.
It is all too easy to speak glibly of Irving Fine's Diversions as a "charming" piece, and let it go at that, but in fact true charm is one of the most difficult things to achieve musically; and Fine has achieved it by simply and honestly revealing the man in the music.

 Notturno for String Orchestra with Harp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Irving Fine was born in Boston and died there, having centered his professional activity in that city.
Fine's most ambitious orchestral work, the Symphony 1962, commissioned by Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, was given its premiere by them in March of that year, and five months later it was performed by the same orchestra at Tanglewood with Fine himself conducting, just eleven days before his death.
Fine's death was unexpected and was regarded everywhere as a major loss to American music; several American orchestras made changes in their programs for the 1962-62 season in order to include memorial gestures.

 The Spectrum Singers: March99 Notes
Irving Fine's small but precious legacy of compositions is one of the real treasures of American music.
For this, Fine composed a fiendishly difficult piano accompaniment for the light-hearted men's chorus it enriches – reminiscent possibly of the music performed by the Harvard Glee Club, of which he was accompanist for a time.
Fine was an accomplished pianist, and his compositions for this instrument are uniformly demanding.

 BookPage Review: Trying To Save Piggy Sneed
And so it is. But we should thank the publisher, who convinced Irving to include the story, because it shows by contrast the craft and cunning-and moral vision as well-that go into the seemingly effortless storytelling of Irving's novels and such stories as "The Pension Grillparzer," also collected here.
Of course, Irving has never claimed the short story as his form, preferring instead the broader reach of the novel.
Here are the details of Irving's formative years as a wrestler and a writer (and, as Irving makes clear, the two are linked in significant ways).

 IRVING LAYTON AT 88: "THE INESCAPABLE LOUSINESS OF GROWING OLD"
Dead-centre in the middle of his standard-issue hospital room, Irving Layton appears to be right at home, comfortably reclining in his wheelchair, casually resting his elbow on the arm of his walker, occasionally checking the tiny crimson-flecked flag of tissue stuck to his freshly shaved face.
During the years he dominated our literature and single-wordedly elevated it to world-class standards, bluster by bluster, Irving Layton, a galvanising force unto himself and an utterly captivating catalyst for others, proved he possessed the poetic mind of a man-in-a-million.
Not long after, the local community-services centre "felt Irving could not live alone in the house," recalls Schwartz as she empties Layton's pipe in the chrome pedestal ashtray and surveys the bustling scene in the lobby.

Irving Fine - An American Composer in His Time is a study of the life and music of an artist of extraordinary refinement and distinction who was also an innovative educator.
Ramey, a composer and pianist, discusses Fine's brief teaching career in the 1940s at his alma mater, Harvard University—shadowed, Fine was convinced, by a malign tradition of tacit anti-Semitism—and his subsequent years at the newly opened Brandeis University, where he flourished, founding the music department and introducing a landmark performing arts festival.
Fine's growth stemmed from not only his probing musical and creative intellect but also his personal and professional relationships with Aaron Copland and four Boston-associated composers - Leonard Bernstein, Lukas Foss, Harold Shapero and Arthur Berger.
