dc.descriptionFinding aid for a collection. Collection description: Doris Sigrid Anundsen Fleming was born in London, Ontario, Canada on January 3, 1901, to Emily Brock Anundsen and Alfred Anundsen. She came to the United States in 1922 to study voice with William S. Brady in New York City. She continued her studies there until she married Denna Frank Fleming on June 29, 1929 and came to Nashville, where her husband was a distinquished professor of Political Science and International Relations at Vanderbilt University. This collection of papers is contained in 13 Hollinger boxes and measures 5.42 linear feet. The papers are personal and biographical materials that include genealogical research materials, legal documents and related correspondence, and photographs. The collection also includes Doris Fleming's writings, mostly poems, written during the 1920's when she lived in New York City. The Music Collection is the most significant series and is comprised of sheet music, programs, and notes on the music and songs represented in this collection. Of interest are a number of songs by Scandinavian composers, including Edvard Grieg, Arne Dorumsgaard, Armas Jarnefelt, Erkki Melartin, and Jean Sibelius among others. There is also a small collection of songs by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. Other series include subject research on Quebec, Canada, and its separatist movement, and a collection of travel materials for visits to Norway, India, Great Britain and other places.en_US
