UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 1972939 Provenance/Source of Acquisition Gift of Yvonne Jurmann, 1988. Biographical note Composer Walter Jurmann was born October 12, 1903, in Vienna, Austria. He began his career as a piano player in Austria and in 1927 moved to Berlin, where he became a pianist at the Eden Hotel. During his time in Berlin, Jurmann collaborated with the lyricist Fritz Rotter (1900-1984) and the Polish composer Bronislaw Kaper (1902-1983), creating a number of hit songs. In the early 1930s, Jurmann and Kaper also wrote songs for German and French films, and Jurmann wrote revues during a stay in Paris in 1933. He sometimes issued music under pseudonyms while working in Europe. In 1934, Louis B. Mayer recruited Jurmann and Kaper for MGM's film productions, bringing them to Los Angeles. The pair wrote songs for the Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races, and the films The Mutiny on the Bounty, Escapade, and San Francisco. Jurmann also composed music for several songs in the Judy Garland musical Presenting Lily Mars. By the mid-1940s, Jurmann had left the film industry, becoming a freelance composer. He later wrote a number of love songs, as well as songs for the cities of San Antonio, Houston, and Los Angeles. Jurmann died on June 17, 1971, while traveling in Budapest, Hungary. Scope and Content Collection consists of material related to the career of composer Walter Jurmann including scores, lyrics, business and personal papers, correspondence, and photographs. Scores are primarily songs for films and popular songs in English and German. Also included are posthumous articles, clippings, programs, and other items concerning Jurmann's music. Much of collection, especially biographic material and some scores, was compiled by Jurmann's wife Yvonne Jurmann after his death.
