This year marks the Centennial of the birth of American composer Irving Fine (1914-1962). Fine belonged to the first generation of American composers born in the Twentieth Century, along with Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Samuel Barber, Leonard Bernstein, and many others who left their indelible mark on the history of American classical music. Fine's music was widely praised among his colleagues: Copland wrote of its  "elegance, style, finish and a convincing continuity," and that it "wins us over through its keenly conceived sonorities and its fully realized expressive content." Thomson spoke of Fine's "unusual melodic grace."

Sounds boring.
