Boosey & Hawkes
In 1942, Fine composed incidental music for a production of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, as adapted by Eva LeGallienne. The same year, he drew from the score three separate works for chorus and piano: "The Lobster Quadrille," "The Lullaby of the Duchess," and "Father William." They became so popular that in 1949 he created an orchestral arrangement, completing it during one of his stays at the MacDowell Colony.
