{"value"=>"<p>This series, dating from 1904 to 2010, incorporates music scores, a radio script, and sound and video recordings compiled by Mattson. The music scores consist of commercial sheet music and songbooks featuring compositions inspired by various Whitman poems. Most of the compositions set Whitman's poems to music. The scores are written for voice, mixed chorus, piano, string orchestra, and brass-percussion ensemble. Two pieces of sheet music, \"On the Beach at Night\" and \"Turn, O Libertad,\" were owned by Joaquin Nin-Culnell. \"On the Beach at Night\" is annotated by Nin-Culnell, and \"Turn, O Libertad\" is signed to Nin-Culnell by the composer, Roger Sessions. The rest of the scores are not annotated or signed.</p> <p>The series includes a radio script, <span class=\"title\">The Eagle's Nest</span>, by Arthur Miller.</p> <p>Mattson also collected commercial sound and video recordings of music and films loosely affiliated with Whitman's poems, life, and name. The commercial sound recordings include readings of Whitman's poetry, as well as recordings of Whitman's poetry set to music. The rest of the recordings feature three mainstream commercial Hollywood films; a professor's lecture on Whitman; two music bands who produced albums loosely inspired by Whitman; and a university and a high school concert that each contains one song inspired by a Whitman poem.</p>"}
