Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for music• Approved in February 2015• Genre and medium of performance decoupled• Still missing some terms, mostly for types of dramatic music• Mostly clean mapping from LCSH “genre” headings to LCGFT,

provided the LCSH heading does not include medium of performance

Subject/Genre Recommendations

• Assign relevant LCGFT headings for music and moving images• Assign headings from both musical and moving image genre

vocabularies-or-

• Choose one based on local policy determined by the needs of your users

• Continue to assign LCSH headings for music as described in the Subject Heading Manual

• See Best Practices for Using LCGFT for Music Resources

Subject/Genre Recommendations

• If an assigned LCSH term includes medium of performance, also record corresponding terms from Library of Congress Medium of Performance Terms thesaurus

• MARC field 382• See Best Practices for Using LCMPT for guidance

• For other genres, use cataloger’s judgment in applying LCMPT• Video packaging/credits may or may not provide enough reliable

information• Medium of performance less important for some genres than others• Consider the needs of your users

Works, Expressions, Creators, and ContributorsTitle Proper and Statement(s) of Responsibility• Preferred source of information for moving image material: title

frames (RDA 2.2.2.3)Followed by…• Disc label (tangible resources) or textual content (online resources)• Container or accompanying material (comprehensive description only)• Internal source (e.g., disc menu) or encoded metadata (online resources)

• Title proper (RDA 2.3.2)• Transcribe from the preferred source (MARC 245 $a, $n, $p)

• Statement of responsibility associated with the title proper (RDA 2.4)• Transcribe from same source as title proper (MARC 245 $c)• Only the first statement is considered core

• MLA recommendation: transcribe all statements from the principle source, and optionally record statements from additional sources (MARC 511, 508)

Recommendations for Recording Relationships• For performances of single works

• Create authorized access points for composer(s), librettist(s), and other creators

• Create authorized access points for contributors if feasible• Create an authorized access point for the musical work (RDA 6.28)• For ballets and other dance works, also create an authorized access

point for the choreographic work (LC-PCC PS for RDA 6.27.1.9)

Old practice:730 #2 $a Coppélia (Choreographic work : Petipa, M after Saint-Léon)Current practice:700 12 $a Petipa, Marius, $d 1818-1910. $t Coppélia.

Recommendations for Recording Relationships• For concerts, recitals, and other filmed performances of multiple works

• Treat as a compilation• See RDA 2.3.2.6 (general instructions), RDA 6.2.2.11 (multiple composers), RDA 6.14.2.8

(works by one composer)• Record each performed work in a contents note• For “classical” works, preferably also create authorized access points

• MARC: 700 12 $i Container of (work/expression):

• For documentaries incorporating performances• Generally do not record fragmentary performances of works or performances

incorporated into the overall narrative, or summarize in a general note• Use cataloger’s judgement for complete performances• For lecture recitals, masterclasses, filmed rehearsals, etc., also provide

name/title subject headings if appropriate
