{"value"=>"<p>This series contains nearly 300 audio recordings and five video recordings that mostly feature performances by Hampton or performances of his compositions by others. It is arranged into Performances and Services, and Demos and Studio. A list of tapes in the collection is held at the beginning of the series.</p> <p>Recordings of performances and services are first arranged chronologically, then alphabetically by title for recordings whose exact dates are unknown; most of the latter items likely date from the 1970s and 1980s. The majority of performances are recitals, services, or Friday at Midnight concerts at Calvary Episcopal Church. Most feature either solo organ or organ with choir. Along with Hampton's own compositions, performances heavily feature works by Johann Sebastian Bach and César Franck, especially those from the 1960s and 1970s.</p> <p>Notable recordings include Hampton's senior recitals at Oberlin College (1960) and Syracuse University (1963); a 1970 radio broadcast of Hampton performing <span class=\"title\">Triple Play</span>; the 1977 premiere of <span class=\"title\">Concerto for Saxophone Quartet, Strings, and Percussion</span>; Candlelight Carol services from 1979 to 1982; the 1980 premiere of <span class=\"title\">Concerto for Organ and Strings</span>; Calvary Choir's 1982 performance of <span class=\"title\">Live or Die</span>; Hampton's memorial service at Calvary; and the 1993 premiere of <span class=\"title\">Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra</span>. Several performances of Olivier Messiaen's <span class=\"title\">Ascension Suite</span> and <span class=\"title\">Nativity Suite</span> are present, as are Easter masses at Calvary. Also of note are several recordings that feature Harry Huff conducting or performing Hampton's works. The five video recordings are from a 1979 Sunday concert at St. George's Church, and Hampton tribute galas from 1985, 1986, and 1988.</p> <p>Demos and studio recordings are fewer. Arranged alphabetically by title, they consist of electronic parts and various instrumental accompaniments recorded for Hampton's compositions, such as \"Alpha and Omega,\" <span class=\"title\">God Plays Hide and Seek</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Procession through a Black Hole</span>. Also present are percussion parts recorded for several pieces, and synthesizer sounds played by Hampton. Of special interest is a synthesizer improvisation from 1968. It is possible some of the studio recordings were released commercially, but none are identified as such.</p>"}
