Tips, Tricks & Little-Known Strategies
![Page 20: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Author/Title Keyword Searching
usually the easiest way to find a specific work by a composer
![Page 21: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Keyword Search Tip: Choosing keywords
use just a few key words and phrases from your musical work, e.g.
Canon in D for 3 violins and continuo,
by Johannes Pachelbel
Author/Title Keyword = pachelbel and canon
![Page 22: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Keyword Search Tip
use “quotation marks” to indicate a phrase– keeps words together, e.g.
“magic flute”
![Page 23: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Finding a uniform title you don’t know
1. do an Author/Title Keyword search: mozart and “magic flute”
2. look for the uniform title; it might be here:
![Page 24: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Finding a uniform title you don’t know
…or it might be here:
![Page 25: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Finding a uniform title you don’t know
3. now you can do a new Author/Title Keyword search:
mozart and zauberflote
…and you’ll get most, or all of them instead of just the ones that happened to have the title in English
![Page 26: Finding Music in MORRIS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813594550346895d9d0584/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
