Editing Dragonriders of Pern (section)

===Music of Pern===
There are two CDs of music relating to the Teaching Ballads and the works of Masterharper Robinton and Menolly.

''The Masterharper of Pern'' was made in 1998 by Anglo-Alaskan duo Tania Opland and Mike Freeman in collaboration with Anne McCaffrey at her request, and features the music of Robinton. The project began as an idea to include written music in the book of the same name, printed on the inner faces of the cover. By the time the composers had written and auditioned the early drafts at the author's table it was clear that making the songs a reality to their creator's satisfaction was finally possible. The CD project was completed some eighteen months later (1998) and released to the approval of the author and fans of the series worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |date=1999 |url=http://crescentblues.com/2_1issue/mccaffrey.shtml |title=Anne McCaffrey: Year of the Dragons |work=Crescent Blues |access-date=14 February 2016}}</ref>

The second CD pertaining mainly to the work another Pernese harper, Menolly, was completed in December 2008.<ref>{{cite web |date=24 December 2008 |url=http://pernhome.com/aim/2008/12/sunsets-gold-from-tania-opland-mike-freeman/ |title=Sunset's Gold from Opland and Freeman |work=The Worlds of Anne McCaffrey |access-date=14 February 2016}}</ref> Entitled ''Sunset's Gold'', this features Opland and Freeman with other musicians, and comprises twelve tracks of music recorded from 2006 to 2008. The CD includes the ballad "Four Hundred Turns" written by Anne McCaffrey shortly after she completed ''Dragonflight''. It was placed in a desk drawer where it lay forgotten for almost forty years until the author rediscovered it just as the CD project was underway. It had never been seen or published before.

Songbooks are also available containing the music from the first CD, with a similar book for the second in the works.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://opland-freeman.com/harperhall/dots.htm |title=Opland-Freeman/Harperhall web page |access-date=15 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130025809/http://opland-freeman.com/harperhall/dots.htm |archive-date=30 January 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
