{"value"=>"<p>The scores document primarily Siday's work in writing and producing music for advertising and radio/television identifications and branding, though they also contain some creative work of his own, and music he wrote for Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians. The series is in five divisions: Compositions and Arrangements; work with the advertising composer Austin Croom-Johnson; Station Identifications; Television Spots; and Titles and Cues. In general, instrumental and vocal scores written for advertising and broadcast identifications pre-date Siday's acquisition and application of the Moog synthesizer, after which he did not employ notated music as often.</p> <p>Compositions and Arrangements contain work done for popular music recordings and publication, as well as some for advertising. Some scores here are published. They also include work by other composers. Many of the popular-based music scores are in the form of sheet music or lead sheets, while scores for instrumental works include full or conductor scores and parts. The scores for Siday's own compositions include <span class=\"title\">Concerto Ritmico</span>, <span class=\"title\">Lament in G Minor</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Lullaby</span>.</p> <p>Siday's commercial work co-written or arranged with Austin Croom-Johnson includes advertising music for Coca Cola, Old Spice, Schaefer Beer, TWA, and Wrigley; and radio identifications and news broadcasts. All of these are full scores for various studio ensembles.</p> <p>Station Identifications contains full scores for identifications, programming schedules, and backgrounds for news broadcasts. Some of these compositions were custom made for individual stations, while others were re-recorded multiple times with different lyrics for different stations. Two of the subdivisions are presumably work that was distributed by the companies named: Modern Radio Plans and Radio Music Services. The music for Modern Radio Plans includes work for advertising as well as station identifications.</p> <p>Television Spots contains scores for material similar to that for the radio station identifications. Titles and Cues contains music for similar purposes, but the client(s) are unidentified.</p>"}
