Why so many new 3XX fields?

• To better accommodate the semantic web and provided machine actionable data

• Many duplicate previous fields, subfields, or fixed fields

• 380 - Comp – Form of Composition

oPrimarily take from 240 $a

• 381 - TrAr – Transposition and Arrangement

oPrimarily take from 240 $o

oBut also $k Selections

• 382 - 048 – Number of Musical Instruments or Voices

oAlso part of the 650 subject headings

Primarily coming from the 240

240 $n – 383 $a (serial number e.g., no. 1)

$n – 383 $b (opus number and numbers

within opus)

$n – 383 $c (thematic index number e.g.,

BWV 1080)

240 $r – 384 Key (e.g., E major)

336-338• Let’s not forget the 336-338 suite used for

all resources

Content – Media – Carrier

336 – RDA 6.9

337 – RDA 3.2

338 – RDA 3.3

Advantages• More granularity

• Better for faceted searching and indexing; better at being machine actionable

• Aid in the identification of works with similar titles

• Assist users in selection by the attributes to works and expressions

336-338 – Printed Score

336;__; $a notated music $2 rdacontent

337;__; $a unmediated $2 rdamedia

338;__; $a volume $2 rdacarrier

Music on a Single Sheet

• 336;__; $a notated music $b ntm $2 rdacontent

• 337;__; $a unmediated $b n $2 rdamedia

• 338;__; $a sheet $b nb $2 rdacarrier

A single sheet of notated music (e.g., a viola part

cataloged separately)

Note, $b is added to this record for the CMC codes as

well as terms

336-338 – Braille Score Braille and other notation perceived through

touch

336;__; $a tactile notated music $2 rdacontent

337;__; $a unmediated $2 rdamedia

338;__; $a volume $2 rdacarrier

336-338 - LibrettosLibrettos published separately

336;__; $a text $2 rdacontent

337;__; $a unmediated $2 rdamedia

338;__; $a volume $2 rdacarrier

Librettos accompanying a CD or Score; use $3 to link them

336;__; $a text $2 rdacontent $3 libretto

337;__; $a unmediated $2 rdamedia $3 libretto

338;__; $a volume $2 rdacarrier $3 libretto

380 – Form of Work• RDA 6.3 is Core

• If giving in AAP (240 $a or 7XX $t), give it also in the 380 (RDA 6.3)

o Use terms from LCSH

• Record for everything else if ascertainable

100;1_; $a Beethoven, Ludwig van, $d 1770-1827, $e composer.

240;10; $a Sonatas, $m piano, $n no. 1, op. 2, no. 1, $r F minor

380;__; $a Sonatas $2 lcsh

380 Cont.If a score has more than one form, repeat the $a if coming from

the same thesaurus

100;1_; $a Bach, Johann Sebastian, $d 1685-1750, $e composer.

240;10; $a Sonaten und Partiten, $m violin, $n BWV 1001-

1006

380;__; $a Sonatas $a Suites $2 lcsh

A search for partitas in LCSH leads to the subject heading Suites

381 – Other Distinguishing

Characteristics of Works or Expressions RDA 6.18 is Core

RDA 6.18.1.4 – “arrangements, transcriptions, versions, settings, etc. … sketches (6.18.1.4.1) … ”

• If recording in the AAP, also record it in the 381 (RDA 6.12)

Arrangements and Transcriptions (RDA 6.18.1.4) – from $o

100;1_; $a Faure, Gabriel, $d 1845-1924, $e composer.

240;10; $a Berceuses, $m violin, piano, $n op. 16, $r D major; $o arranged

500;__; $a Originally for violin and piano; arranged for clarinet in B♭ and piano.

381;__; $a arranged $a transposed

Violins are tuned as “C instruments” and the part is written, played (and sounds) in the same key as the piano (another C instrument); in order for the B-flat clarinet to sound/play in the same key center as the piano, the part must be “transposed” down a step (putting the part in different key than the piano) – also recorded in the TrAr of the 008

381 Cont.• 381 field is repeatable; or you can record in a sing

field

381;__; $a arranged

381;__; $a transposed

381 – Selections ($k of AAP)

100;1_; $a Stravinsky, Igor, $d 1882-1971, $e composer.

240;10; $a Ballets. $k Selections

380;__; $a Ballets $2 lcsh

381;__; $a Selections

Note Selections here is capitalized but arranged on the previous

slide was not. Transcribe it as it is appears in the Uniform Title.

381 - Versions or revised works

046;__; $k 1884 $l 1889

100;1_; $a Puccini, Giacomo, $d 1958-1924, $e composer.

240;10; $a Edgar

380;__; $a Operas $2 lcsh

381;__; $a 1905 version

Composed 1884-1889 revised between 1889-1892; revised 1905.

The AAP is the same for all three versions

382 – Medium of Performance

• RDA 6.15 is Core

• Follow MLA RDA 6.15 – Record if also recorded in the AAP

($m); for all others if readily ascertainable.

• In general, always record the 382 as it will be key component

to searching and indexing in conjunction with the 655 genre

form

Note, expansion of the Library of Congress Genre/Form

Thesaurus (lcgft) with music forms is expected to begin in late

November early December 2014.

All Terms are Found in Classification Web

http://classificationweb.net/Menu/

382 SubfieldsAll terms in the singular and lower case

• $a instrument (including voice and ensembles)

• $b solo instruments (e.g., flute and orchestra)

• $d doubling (i.e., when the performer puts his alto saxophone

down and picks up the soprano saxophone)

• $n number of performers

• $p alternative instrument (e.g., 245 … for oboe or flute)

• $s total number of performers

• $v notes

• $2 source of terms (always use lcmpt terms)

382 - Indicators• One of two new music 3XX fields that have indicators

1st indicator: _ = blank, no information provided

0 = Medium of Performance (i.e., all instruments known)

1 = Partial Medium of Performance (i.e., all instruments

not known) – when complete instrumentation is not

known

2nd indicator: _ = no information provided

0 = not intended for access

1 = intended for access

Note, with the 382/655 pair replacing the 650, it only makes sense that the

2nd 1 is used

382 Examples• For a work for flute alone

382;01; $a flute $n 1 $s 1 $2 lcmpt

• For a works with flute and piano

382;01; $a flute $n 1 $a piano $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt

• For a work with flute and orchestra

382;01; $b flute $n 1 $a orchestra $2 lcmpt

• For a work with flute and orchestra but with keyboard

reduction

382;01; $b flute $n 1 $a piano $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt

Record the instrumentation for what you have in hand

382 Examples Cont.Flute or violin and piano - $p alternatives

• 382;01; $a flute $n 1 $p violin $n 1 $v alternative for flute

$a piano $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt

or,

382;01; $a flute $p violin $n 1 $v alternative for flute

$a piano $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt

Some documentation leaves out the $n of the first instrument

listed

Note the optional use of the $v note

382 Examples, Cont.Doubling - One player playing two or more instruments - use the $d

382;01; $a flute $n 2 $a oboe $n 2 $d English horn $n 1 $a clarinet $n 2 $a horn $n 2 $s 8 $2 lcmpt

382 $v• The free text subfield allows for clarification of the recorded

instruments that as of yet cannot be expressed

382;01; $a piano $n 1 $2 1 $v piano, 1 hand $2 lcmpt

382;01; $a piano $n 2 $s 2 $v piano, 4 hands $2 lcmpt

382 01 $a piccolo $n 1 $a flute $n 4 $a alto flute $n 1 $a bass flute $n 1 $s 7 $2 lcmpt

383 – Numeric Designation of Musical

Work• RDA 6.16 is Core

• Follow MLA and record if part of the AAP $n ; record all that are readily ascertainable

383; $a Serial number

383; $b Opus number and number within an opus if applicable

383; $c Thematic Index number (e.g., BWV 1080) assigned in a Thematic Catalog

383; $d Thematic Index Code (e.g., Schmieder, the author of the Thematic Catalog)

383; $e Publisher Assigning the Opus Number

383; $2 Source code

383 Examples• Serial number, or chronological number of similar works ($n)

100; 10; $a Beethoven, Ludwig van, $d1770-1827, $e composer.

240; 10; $a Concertos, $m piano, orchestra, $n no. 4, op. 58, $r

G major

380;__; $a Concertos $2 lcsh

382;01; $b piano $n 1 $a orchestra $2 lcmpt

383;__; $a no. 4 $b op. 58

383 – numbers within Opus numbers

• Some serials numbers are equivalent or on the same

level as the opus number

• Some works have numbers within the opus

Sonatas, $m cello, piano, $n no. 5, op. 102, no. 2, $r D

major

383;__; $a no. 5 $b op. 102, no. 2

383 – Thematic Numbers and Codes

• See separate slides from Rebecca Taylor

384 - Key• Second 3XX field for music with indicators

o 384;0_; $a original key

o 384;1_; $a transposed key

• Some works may have both an original part and a transposed part

• The field is not repeatable (for now)

• Record the Key if part of the AAP and make a note for the other key; if key is not part of the APP, consider following the same practice

• Do not confuse key of the instrument (Clarinet in A) with key of the work

384 - Examples100; 10; $a Beethoven, Ludwig van, $d1770-1827, $e composer.

240; 10; $a Concertos, $m piano, orchestra, $n no. 4, op. 58, $r

384;1_; $a E minor

Note, continuo primarily from the Baroque period can be 1 or more players; regardless, use 382;0

Relationships• RDA, BIBFRAME, and the Linked Data model brings to the

table more exploitation of relationships

o Relator codes or terms ($4 and $e in the 1XX and 7XX

fields) – Relationship between Persons, Families and

Corporate Bodies to the Resources – RDA Appendix I

o Relationship designators ($i of the 7XX fields) between

works, expressions, manifestations – and items RDA

Appendix J

o Greater employment of linking to related resources

Relator Codes and Terms• Guidance is in RDA Chapters 18-20

• Library of Congress maintains both lists, however, they only use the $e terms

• $e is repeatable; terms are recorded in WEMI order separated by a comma and always lowercase

• $e and $4 are never used in the same AAP

100;1_; $a Barber, Samuel, $d 1910-1981, $e composer, $e performer.

Codes can be accessed: http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/

Terms are found in RDA Appendix I

Relationship Designators• Guidance in RDA Chapter 24-27

• Designators always recorded the same

o Capitalize first word; end string with a colon

o Follow MLA and include for all access points for Works and Expressions

o Because of potential differences in how library catalogs utilize the indicators and codes, record both in catalog like the examples in the MLA guide

700;12; $i Container of (work): $a Faure, Gabriel, $d 1845-1924. $t Berceuses, $m violin, piano, $n op. 16, $r D major

700;12; $i Container of (expression): $a Eccles, Henry, $d active 1694-1735. $t Sonatas, $m violin, continuo, $n book 1. $n No. 11; $o arranged

Note that arrangements are expressions of the original work

Changes in AAPs• Selections by itself is no longer allowed in Uniform Titles:

240;10; $a Selections

700;12; $a … $a Selections.

Now recorded as:

240;10; $a Works. $k Selections

Or if you can be more specific, do so,

240;10; $a Instrumental music. $k Selections

Bilingual and Polyglot• The use of Polyglot in $l is no longer used

o Each language is listed separately as an AAP

100;1_; $a Bizet, Georges, $d1838-1875, $e composer.

240;10; $a Carmen. $s Vocal score

700;12; $i Container of (expression): $a Bizet, Georges, $d

1838-1875. $t Carmen. $s Vocal score. $l English.

The 100/240 is for the original language; the 700 for the

translated expression

Future Developments• Linked Data environment will allow for data

recorded in 1XX, 6XX, 7XX, 8XX and 3XX fields to be

“linked” to authority records via identifierso Brings data into the catalog and display

• 380 $0 Record control number; $2 source code

• 381 $0 Record control number; $u Uniform Resource

Identifier; $2 Source code

• 382; $0 Authority record control number or standard

number

• 7XX $w
