{"value"=>"<p>This series contains sketches, score manuscripts and parts, and publishing proofs and final published versions of Turner's music. It also holds a small portion of score manuscripts by Turner's colleagues and students.</p> <p>The pieces by Turner with the most content are The Marriage of Orpheus, an orchestral work, and Pastorale, an orchestral ballet which he later arranged for other instrumentations, and renamed Dark Pastorale. Other compositions in the series include Encounter (in sketch form); piano pieces; songs for voice and piano spanning Turner's career; early chamber music and songs from the 1940s; an unfinished opera called Titanic; Pathetique, an undated orchestral piece; and untitled sketches. Most of Turner's scores are undated. The Christmas Carols are Turner's arrangements of traditional carols, and also include Turner's notes on how to write them.</p> <p>Scores by other composers consist of the published violin part for Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto (marked up by Turner and used in preparation for his performances with Barber conducting); Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, with different text written in by Turner; Patrick Douglas-Hamilton's True Thomas, an opera performed on the same program with Turner's The Ballad of Barnaby at St. Mary's Parish Church, Haddington, England in 1969 (see program in Series I); and a manuscript of Stanley Hollingsworth's Sonata for Flute and Piano.</p> <p>The student scores are all by pupils of Turner from the Wykeham Rise School in Washington, Connecticut, written ca. 1968-1969. Most are choral pieces.</p>"}
