claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Brent Mydland was a talented keyboardist, vocalist, and songwriter best remembered as a member of The Grateful Dead from 1979 to 1990, a longer tenure than any other keyboardist (aka The Hot Seat) in the band. No previous keyboard player contributed any enduring original songs to the Dead’s repertoire. Brent immediately made his impact felt with the songs “Far From Me” and “Easy to Love You,” which appeared on the Grateful Dead’s 1980 album “Go to Heaven,” released almost exactly a year after he joined the band. On 1987’s “In the Dark,” Brent brought “Tons of Steel” to the table, and he co-wrote the house rocker that opened many an ‘80s show, “Hell in a Bucket,” with Bob Weir and frequent collaborator John Perry Barlow.

age: 47

cause_of_death: Heart attack

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Irving Fine was an American composer with a remarkable gift for lyricism, whose masterfully crafted scores inevitably "sing." Aaron Copland wrote that his music "wins us over through its keenly conceived sonorities and its fully realized expressive content," praising it for "elegance, style, finish and a convincing continuity." A distinguished American composer, Irving Fine was a leading voice in the American Neoclassical School and a member of the Boston Group of composers—Arthur Berger, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss and Harold Shapero—who were hot on the international scene during the mid-twentieth century. A student of Boulanger, Koussevitzky and Piston, Fine’s compositions range in style from populist Americana to serialism. His greatest legacy is as an educator and impresario. As the founder of the Brandeis University School of Creative Arts, Department of Music, and internationally-renowned Festival of the Creative Arts, Fine transformed the Brandeis campus into a global destination for innovative performers and arts practitioners.
