MARC 21 0xx-099 (Numeric/Control Variable Fields)

RDA BSR: Mandatory if available:

020, 028, 041, 043, 050 _4

042: YUL is not authorized by BIBCO to code cataloging for audio recordings as pcc.

028 [Publisher number] is the only field that may be somewhat unfamiliar to catalogers who work primarily with printed resources.

First indicator. 0 <issue number>. Other indicators apply to LP pressings (2) or printed music.

Second indicator. 1 <to support identification use second indicator 1; only indicator 1 will cause the number to display with the label Issue number: in the OPAC>

‡a Transcribe the publisher number with the same spaces and hyphens used on the item.[LCRI 6.7B] Omit captions (Nr., cat. no., no., etc.) unless the publisher's name appears with the number. In that case, transcribe the publisher name, caption, and issue number. [LCRI 5.7B].

‡b Label name. <generally but not necessarily the same as the publisher name>

Older records may have a 500 note repeating the information in 028. This is no longer required.

EXAMPLES 1-2: Label name is the same as the publisher name.

028	0	1	‡a HCI-134 ‡b Gema Nada Pertiwi
264		1	‡a [Jakarta] : ‡b Gema Nada Pertiwi, ‡c [1997]

028	0	1	‡a AMTI CD 9802 ‡b Jewish Music Research Centre

264		4	‡c ℗1998    <Optional>

041 [Language code] Use ‡d for the language of the audio (songs or spoken word). Use ‡g for the language of the accompanying material.

041	0		‡d may ‡d ind
546			‡a Sung in Malay and Indonesian.

050 _4 [Library of Congress Call Number] Assign LC classification number following the same criteria used for a printed text.

OPTIONAL.

033 Place and Date of Capture. (RDA 7.11) Required if available in 518 but not in 033. BPMC: "If feasible, also record place and/or date of capture in a 033 field" (p. 72). Detailed input instructions at BFAS. Keep in mind that 518 is mandatory when applicable. One reason catalogers will generally avoid using the field is that, while entering the date is unproblematic, the use of subfields b & c for the geographic classification code/subarea code will require a look-up in the G schedules and is required if 033 is made and a place is given in 518.

045 Period of composition. Unlikely for popular and traditional.

047 (Multiple Forms of Composition). Not on the mandatory list in the Audio Recordings section of the BSR & only appears in some examples in BPMC.

048 (Medium of Performance) [considered obsolete with the introduction of variable field 382; however, see the note on field 382 on page 2 of this document]

Preferred Source

Title Proper.  RDA  2.2.2 (General) [formerly 6.0B1 in AACR2]

RDA 2.2.1. Treat as part of the resource itself a. the storage medium (the disc or tape) b. any housing that is an integral part of the resource (e.g. the cassette). Accompanying material is considered to be part of the resource itself. In addition, a container issued with the resource is considered to be part of the resource.

RDA 2.2.2.4.1 (Tangible resources, excluding textual and moving-image). If there is more than one source for the title, for audio recordings treat in order of preference:

a. a title permanently printed or an affixed label on the disc or cassette (i.e., on the carrier)

[b. the title from elsewhere on/in the resource, but not accompanying material or the  container (which are not carriers). <would not apply to music sound recordings>]

c. the container or accompanying material issued with the disc/cassette

• since c. is one of the preferred sources, if it is necessary to apply c., the information is not bracketed; information taken from an external source other than the container or accompanying material, however, should be bracketed (at least for published recordings and copies of archival recordings)
• in pre-RDA practice, accompanying material took precedence over the container; under RDA, there appears to be no order of preference or best practice with RDA (cataloger judgment)
• the old LCRI 6.0.1 therefore had to define the booklet visible through the CD container cover as part of the container (i.e., not accompanying material), but if there is no order of preference for external sources, then the distinction is no longer significant

The source of the title proper is always given in a note*; for sound recordings, RDA does not have a provision for excluding the source of title note even if the source is the first order of preference.

*Under AACR2, if the title was from the "chief source" (disc), a note was not made.

If the recording is a compilation and the disc or cassette only list the titles in the compilation, transcribe the title proper from the container or accompanying material if a collective title appears on one or the other.

EXCEPTION. For some area collections, the only information may be the LCCN printed on the cassette. Assume the descriptive work is correct, but add an explanatory local note. In the example 590 is used, but it may be better to enter the note in MFHD 842 ‡z.

REMINDER:  General Material Designation option (245 ‡h) is OBSOLETE.

Other title (245 ‡b)

Under RDA, the Other Title must be taken from the same source as the title proper. If the title proper is taken from the disc label but the other title only appears on the container or accompanying material, do not transcribe the other title in 245 ‡b. If considered to be important for identification or retrieval, make a note or 246 access point.

Statement of responsibility (245 ‡c)

For RDA (2.4.1.1), the statement of responsibility for the title proper identifies persons, families, or corporate bodies (i.e. groups like the Beatles) "responsible for the creation of, or contributing to the realization of, the intellectual or artistic content of a resource." For performers of music "whose participation is limited to performance, execution, or interpretation," the cataloger is sent to 7.23, which in the context of MARC/ISBD seems to be the note area 511. Entities who are solely performers of music, then, are analogous to actors in a film in terms of where they are recorded in MARC. However, BPMC deviates from RDA 2.4.1.1: "For purposes of this instruction, generally consider that the participation of performers of popular music, jazz, etc., is not limited to performance, execution, or interpretation, and record statements identifying theses performers as statements of responsibility." This basically restores AACR2 practice for the statement of responsibility. CAUTION: the BPMC recommendation only applies to the statement of responsibility; it does not affect choice of entry. Even though the principal performer in a popular/traditional sound recording is transcribed in 245 ‡c , the PP cannot be entered in 100/110 unless that PP is also the composer of the works recorded.

REMINDER: In AACR2 records, statements of responsibility taken from a source other than the "chief source" were bracketed. Under RDA, if the title proper and other title are taken from the disc or cassette label, the statement of responsibility is not bracketed if taken from the container or accompanying material. Unlike the title proper, a source note for the statement of responsibility is not required. A statement of responsibility taken from a source other than the container or accompanying material should be bracketed; in that case, a justifying note is recommended to ensure proper identification.

EXAMPLE. NOTE:  GMD removed from the original AACR2 example.

100	1		‡a Gavriʾelov, Miḳi, ‡e composer, ‡e singer, ‡e instrumentalist.
245	1	0	‡a Ba-deshe etsel Avigdor  / ‡c Ariḳ Einshṭain, Miḳi Gavriʾelov = At Avigdor's grass / Arik Einstein, Miki Gavrielov.
511	0		‡a Arik Einstein, Miki Gavrielov, guitar, vocals ; with accompaniment.
700	1		‡a Einstein, Arik, ‡e lyricist, ‡e singer, ‡e instrumentalist.

EXAMPLE. Since popular music focuses on the performer, it is often the case that the primary creator is integrated with the title. The original AACR2 example had the statement of responsibility in brackets. Since the information was transcribed from the container, the brackets are removed in RDA cataloging. As indicated in the section on Access (p. 7 of this document), for compilations of works by multiple composers, the principle performer was the main entry. Under RDA, unless the entity is the creator of all of the works in a compilation, the person or group cannot be entered in 100/110. In the following example, Einstein is not the composer of all of the songs in the compilation, but he is the author of the lyrics of all of the songs, so he could still be assigned to 100 (but not as the principal performer).

100	1		‡6 880-03 ‡a Einstein, Arik, ‡e lyricist, ‡e singer, ‡e instrumentalist.
245	1	0	‡6 880-01 ‡a Ariḳ Ainshṭain : ‡b ha-osef = Arik Einstein : the collection / ‡c ʻorekh muziḳali, Yoʾav Ḳutner.

EXAMPLE. Ensemble performers. In this example the ensemble is not responsible for the composition of the works in the collection, so it must be entered in 710 (but, since this is popular music, the performing group is transcribed in 245 ‡c.

245	0	0	‡a Jiuta / ‡c Yonin no Kai.
511			‡a Performed by the ensemble Yonin no Kai (Tokyo).
710	2		‡a Yonin no Kai (Tokyo, Japan), ‡e performer.

Edition statement (250)

In case of doubt, take the presence of words such as edition, issue, or version (or their equivalent in other languages) as evidence of an edition statement.

EXAMPLE Former AACR2 example. For RDA, GMD removed, 250 modified.

245	0	0	‡a Best Bongo zouk, 2009.
250			‡a New mix, June 2009.

Publisher (264 ‡b) and Date of Publication (264 ‡c)

Publishing company name vs "subdivision of that company or a trade name or a brand name used by that company." AACR2 practice was to use the subdivision/trade/brand name as the publisher. This would apply primarily to Anglo-American imprints; somewhat less likely for area collections. Per the LC PCC PS 2.8.4.3, transcribe the entire hierarchy in the publisher statement, which in this case would be both the publisher and the particular subdivision.

264 _1 ‡c is reserved for either the actual publication date or an inferred publication date in brackets.

• An inferred date based on the phonogram date should be entered in brackets
• Prefer an inferred date to "[date of publication not identified];" this allows you to enter a date in 008 
• If 264 _1 ends in a bracket, do not add a period after the bracket
• The phonogram "p" or ℗ should never appear in 264 _1
• Optionally*, the phonogram copyright date may be entered in 264 _4 ‡c; if the option is applied, the macro is WIN-ALT-P when working in Voyager
• If the option is chosen, use the copyright symbol rather than the lower-case "p," and do not end the field with a period
• Note that 264 _4 does not use ‡a or ‡b.

*LC PCC PS 2.11/BSR: copyright date is only recorded if the publication (or distribution) date is not identified; an inferred date is understood to be sufficient identification. BPMC best practice is to routinely record copyright/phonogram date, but following BPMC is optional unless the BSR is updated.

EXAMPLE (GMD removed; 260 re-tagged)

245	0	0	‡a Aapka-- Abhijeet Sawant.
264		1	‡a Mumbai : ‡b SONY BMG Music Entertainment (India), ‡c [2005]
264		4	‡c ℗2005   <optional, no period at the end of the field>

Extent & Duration (300 ‡a)

LC-PCC PS 3.4.1.3: "PCC practice: Catalogers may use a term in common usage. If the alternative is used because the carrier type is not found at 3.3.1.3, notify the chair of the PCC Standing Committee on Standards of the need for a new term." [Note that the second sentence applies to new audio carrier types not represented by an authorized term in 3.3.1.3, not to common usage terms corresponding to the existing authorized terms]  YUL original cataloging generally prefers a term in common usage if such exists; YUL copy cataloging: accept copy as found.

For rationale, see page 6 Non-Music Sound Recordings.

CAUTION: RDA 3.3.1.3 basically uses the same terms found in AACR2 6.5B1, but substitutes "audio" for "sound" in all cases, along with some differences in phrasing.

RDA 3.3.1.3	Alternative: Common Usage	AACR2
audio disc	CD or compact disc	sound disc
audiocassette	cassette or cassette tape	sound cassette
audio cartridge	MiniDisc	sound disc cartridge

For other audio carriers, use the standard RDA term from 3.3.1.3. A list, with the carrier codes, can also be found in MARC documentation.

Duration (7.22.1.3)

Record the duration as stated on the item, using abbreviations. If the resource states 1 hour:20 minutes, record the duration as 1 hr., 20 min. If the resource states 80 minutes, record the duration as 80 min. For details, see page 5 of Non-Music Sound Recordings.

Example.

245	0	4	‡a The best of jugalbandi.
264		1	‡a New Delhi : ‡b Music Today, ‡c [2002]
264		4	‡c ℗2002   <optional>
300			‡a 1 compact disc (approximately 64 min.) : ‡b digital ; ‡c 4 3/4 in.

300 ‡b, ‡c, ‡e (Sound Characteristics, Dimensions, Accompanying Material)

300 ‡b. Always record:

• Digital or analog (or both)
• stereo, mono, quadraphonic, or surround (no periods for the first two, no abbreviations for the last two)
• Playback characteristics if readily available, e.g. Dolby

For details see page 6 of Non-Music Sound Recordings.

Sound characteristic elements in ‡b are also recorded in two new MARC fields 344 and 347. For details, see page 7 of Non-Music Sound Recordings.

300 ‡c. Always record dimensions. For CDs, the standard diameter is 4 3/4 in. (use "in." not "cm"). For tape record height, width, and tape width. Standard cassette dimensions: 3 7/8 in. x 2 1/2 in., tape 1/8 in. (use "in." not "cm").

300 ‡e For accompanying material, see page 7 of Non-Music Sound Recordings.

306 (Formatted playing time) is recommended by BPMC. As indicated above, duration is mandatory for audio recording in BSR, and 306 as well as 300 are listed as appropriate fields, but recording duration in 300 should be sufficient. Total time is recorded in 306 in the form hhmmss. Duration of individual parts should be recorded in 505. For additional examples see BFAS.

300			‡a 1 compact disc (75 min., 25 sec.) : ‡b digital, stereo ; ‡c 4 3/4 in.
306			‡a 011525

For 336, 337, 338, 344 & 347 see page 7 of Non-Music Sound Recordings. Note that the code subfields for 336, 337, and 338 are optional but should not be removed if they appear in templates or cataloging copy.

382. Form/genre access to bibliographic records for music audio recordings has traditionally been combined with medium of performance (the specific musical instruments or vocals) and entered in 650. Beginning in 2014, LC will begin to establish form/genre headings using MARC coding for form/genre (155/655) without inclusion of the medium of performance, which will be entered in field 382.  Based on current PCC documentation and the Music Library Association Provisional Best Practices for using LCMPT, 382 seems to be geared more toward bibliographic records for scores for single or a small number of works for the benefit of, for example, a group of clarinet, piano, and cello players looking for compositions for clarinet, piano, and cello ensembles. The case for sound recordings does not seem to be as strong, and traditionally, the medium of performance was not part of the 650 array for popular music recordings as it was scores. With regard to large ensembles of instruments, MLA's principle seems to be "the more granularity the better." The usefulness of listing all of the familiar instruments in even a small Klezmer band (see p. 10, example 5) seems dubious & not the most productive use of cataloger time, though recording just the unfamiliar instruments might be worthwhile (see page 10, Example 5). A case could be made for international collections where the recording features non-Western instruments, but the ones of most interest may not be listed in the LCMPT thesaurus. Compare example 1 on page 12 and example 7 on page 13.  Clearer policies and best practices for sound recording compilations will need to be discussed, agreed on, and published by the audio cataloging community. Until this takes place, general application of 382 is not recommended; for non-Western music, it may be applied selectively.

RDA does not stipulate note order. The cataloger can arrange in order of importance, in MARC order, or AACR2 order. YUL original cataloging generally enters 590 as the last note.

500 [RDA 2.17.2.3] Source of title proper. As noted under Title proper, for audio recordings the note is mandatory no matter what the source.

500

‡a Title from disc label.

500

‡a Title from insert.

Variations in title, parallel titles, etc. are recorded in 246 1_ (with the exception of parallel titles, 246 31)

500  Accompanying material if not already accounted for in 300 ‡e.

501 With note. <unlikely>

502 RDA  Formal dissertation note. <unlikely>

505 Contents note. Generally make a contents note for collections of popular/traditional songs, since this information may be as important as the title. Subfielding is not required. For compilations, record duration of each work if readily available.

Record the label name and issue/matrix numbers in 028 rather than 5xx (unless the label name and/or issue/matrix numbers cannot be reasonably expressed in 028).

511 Performers. The first indicator generally should be 0. Indicator 1 is intended to generate the CAST label, which more likely would be applicable to non-music sound recordings or Western musical theater. (Indicator 0 would be appropriate for Chinese opera, but Chinese opera is not a category of Chinese popular music). Names of principal performers from the statement of responsibility should be repeated in 511.

511

0

‡a Tobias Chinoda, lead guitar ; Moses Mudadisi, rhythm guitar ; Fredrick Ndlovu, bass guitar ; Benias "Jambaiya" Gent, drums.

511

0

‡a Arranged and performed by the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band (David Buchbinder, trumpet, E-flat alto horn ; Laura Cesar, acoustic bass ; Evelyne Datl, piano, accordion ; Anne Lederman, violin, kaval, mandolin, vocals ; John Lennard, drums, percussion ; Allan Merovitz, lead vocals ; Martin Van De Ven, clarinets, bass clarinet, taragato) ; in part with Allen Cole, accordion, piano, xylophone ; bandleader, David Buchbinder.

518 [RDA 7.11.1.3] Date of Capture. PCC recommended for audio recordings, but not mandatory. See also 033. Make a note if the recording is of a live performance; include place and date if available. [Requested by Research Services; not required for PCC core, but required for YUL.] BPMC recommendation: "For audio and video recordings, routinely record place and date of capture if readily ascertainable, in a 518 field. If feasible, also record place and/or date of capture in 033 field."

Indicators: both are blank. Subfields: Date, time & place may be entered in ‡a. Examples in BPMC prefer ‡o (other event information), ‡d  (date), ‡p (place). If the subfield indicators are used, there is no intervening punctuation separating the subfields.

518

‡a Recorded April, 1990 at Inception Sound, Toronto, Ont.

518

‡o Recorded ‡d  April, 1990 ‡p  Inception Sound, Toronto, Ont.

520/380 [RDA 6.3 Form of Work, 7.2 Nature of Content] Mandatory in the access point if needed to differentiate (and should be routinely added in the authority record, if created). Optional in bibliographic record notes but recommended for traditional music recordings. Although 380 can be used in bibliographic records, controlled vocabulary (LCSH) is preferred for this field. 520 is more flexible & a better choice. BPMC recommendation: "Make a note if the work or expression is not adequately described by the title or by using appropriate genre/form or subject headings. Notes can combine genre/form and medium of performance (7.21), especially if compilations of diverse works can be described more concisely than by giving the elements separately." [However, note that BPMC enters notes on form and content in 500 rather than 520; on the other hand, 520 is frequently used in LC field office records & the first indicator 2 value seems to be aimed specifically at nature of content.]

Indicators: use first indicator 2 to generate the display constant Scope and content. (First indicator blank generates Summary; currently, first indicator 2 does not affect the Orbis display constant for 520, which is Summary, but there is always the possibility of greater granularity in the future.). Second indicator is always blank.

Recommendation. When updating production-level records, re-tag scope & content 500s to to 520 2#.

520

‡a Principally instrumental music of the Ju'hoansi bushmen of Namibia, played on traditional instruments; some selections include vocals.

‡a Javanese gamelan music.

530 Availability in other formats. If applied, use 776 rather than 530.

538 [RDA 3.19.3 Digital File Characteristic--Encoding Format] The 500 note Compact disc is obsolete. Compact discs are identified as such in 347 ‡b CD audio  For compact discs with augmented or special playback characteristics, record details in 538.

It may be that the cataloger dispensed with the language note because the title of the collection and all of the song titles are in English LC record (2003590376) but there would still be a case for making a 546 due to the origin of the band and the locale.

Comments are, for the most part, limited to the codes with specific sound recording elements or codes also used by books that have different applications with sound recordings. Fixed fields that do not differ in application from the books format, such as Place of Publication, are not covered but are listed if BSR mandatory. YUL default code is blank (standard level).

Mandatory BSR standard bytes are indicated by (*); BSR optional fields are bracketed and in italics; note that some optional fields will be required by YUL. BSR 2014 consulted.

Leader

*Type of record: j. (Musical sound recording)

Music mixed with spoken word is also coded as j Music sound recording if the music is primary--a recording of a Broadway musical, for example.

*Bibliographic Level

*Type of Control (archival collections only)

*Encoding Level (use blank)

*Descriptive cataloging form (use "i")

008 Fixed-Length Data Elements

The Voyager label is followed by byte number and OCLC mnemonic.

*Publication status [008/07 OCLC: DtSt], Date 1, Date 2 [08/7-10, 11-14 OCLC: Dates]. NOTE: these guidelines represent OCLC's interpretation of MARC 21, since MARC 21 does not provide clear guidelines for sound recordings. See Bibliographic Formats & Standards.

• Use r for reissues (new publisher number, new publisher label). A reissue can be in the same medium or a different medium. Use Date 1 for the reissue date; use Date 2 for the original publication or release date. The edition history note is made in full level cataloging and the date in the note should correspond to Date 2; the edition/history note is not required in core level cataloging. If the recording is a reissue but the original issue date is not provided, use uuuu in Date 2.
• Use s for a single date if it is not a reissue. (An initial release with no statement about the recording date)
• Use p if the recording date in 518 differs from the publication date. Enter the publication date in Date 1 and the recording date in Date 2. If the recording date represents a span of years, enter the earliest date of the span in Date 2. If the recording is a reissue and also has a recording date, use r rather than p.
• As with books, sometimes q for questionable date must be used as a last resort
• Use of m for a multipart published over a span of years (these seem to be notably common in Southeast Asia cataloging). If the recording is both a reissue and a multiyear multipart, use r rather than m.

264	Publication Status	Date 1	Date 2
2008 (previous release 2001, recorded 1965)	r	2008	2001

[Form of] Composition [008/18-19 OCLC: Comp]. The list of codes is extremely lengthy & biased to Western classical & popular music. The most likely code will be fm Folk music jz Jazz mp Motion picture music pp Popular music & possibly rc Rock music. The examples include notes indicating the Composition code used on the record, but note that bytes 18-19 are not mandatory for BSR.

*Format of Music [008/20 OCLC FMus]. Use n Not Applicable, including compact discs.

*Form of Item . [008/23 OCLC Form] Use s Electronic for sound discs that can only be played back on a computer ("enhanced" discs)--see EXAMPLE 19.

[Accompanying material. [008/24-29 OCLC: AccMat]] For popular/traditional sound recordings of music, most of the available codes could be selected if applicable [but c Thematic index is used primarily for Western classical music].

[Literary Text for Sound Recording 1/2 [008/30-31 OCLC: LTxt]]. YUL: Not mandatory BSR, but code as indicated:

Use _ : Item is a Musical Sound Recording" for Literary Text 1 & 2.

Both of the Literary Text fields must be blank. An item is a Musical Sound Recording only if Literary Text 1/2 is coded blank blank.

*Language [008/35-37 OCLC Lang] Code for the spoken/sung language (not for the accompanying material).

*Modified Record

*Cataloging Source (use "d" NOT "c")

*007 Physical Description Fixed Fields

Note that since Category of Material is mandatory, in effect 007 is mandatory. For optional fields, if the decision is not to fill-in,  use | no attempt to code.

*Category of Material. [007/00 OCLC 007 ‡a] On Voyager, the Category of Material is enabled by selecting the appropriate 007 tab, in this case, Sound Recording, and clicking New. OCLC just uses a 007 string with the code entered in OCLC-specific subfields.

*Specific Material Designation. [007/01 OCLC 07 ‡b] On Voyager, select from the menu d Sound disc for compact discs or s Sound Cassette.

*Speed. [007/03 OCLC ‡d] On Voyager, select f : 1.4 m. per sec. (Discs) for compact discs, or l [lower case L] : 1 7/8 ips (Tapes) for sound cassettes.

[Playback Channel. [007/04 OCLC ‡e] On Voyager, select appropriate code based on 300 ‡b.]

[Groove Width/Groove Pitch. [007/ 05 OCLC ‡f] Always n : Not applicable for both compact discs and sound cassettes. YUL: not mandatory, but enter "n"]

*Dimensions. [007/06 OCLC ‡g] Use g : 4 3/4 in. or 12 cm. (open reels and discs) for compact discs; use j : 3 7/8 x 2 1/2 in. (cassette) for standard sound cassettes.

[Tape Width. [007/07 OCLC ‡h] Use n Not applicable for compact discs; use l [lower case L] : 1/8 in. for sound cassettes.]

[Tape Configuration. [007/08 OCLC ‡i] Use n : Not applicable for compact discs; use c : Quarter (4) track for sound cassettes (unless a different configuration is stated explicitly).]

[Kind of Disc [or Cylinder or Tape]. [007/09 OCLC ‡j] Use m : Mass produced <what about field recordings?>]

[Kind of Material. [007/10 OCLC ‡k] Use m : Plastic with metal for compact discs; use p : Plastic for cassettes.]

[Kind of Cutting [007/11 OCLC ‡l] Use n : Not Applicable.]

[Playback Characteristics [007/12 OCLC ‡m] Use e : Digital recording for compact discs; for cassettes, use the appropriate code based on statements found on the resource.]

[Capture & Storage Techniques. [007/13 OCLC ‡n] The code is based on the technique used for the original recording. A compact disc recorded digitally would be d : Digital; a compact disc recorded originally on analog tape and later released on compact disc would be e : Analog electrical storage. For sound cassettes, if there is an explicit statement about the original recording, use the appropriate code. If there is no statement about the original recording, generally use e : Analog. Analog recording technique was used ca. 1940-1980; if the item lacks an explicit statement but the original recording was clearly before the analog period (i.e. pre-1940), use u Unknown.]

EXAMPLE 1. Variant title note made for 246. In the original example, the source of title proper note was not made, in accordance with AACR2; 518 left as ‡a (unable to parse by date/location subfields).

RDA 19.2.1.1. (formerly AACR2 21.23A1-B1) For an audio recording of a single work by a composer, or a collection of multiple works by a single composer, the composer will be the main entry with an added entry for the principal performer. So if performer A sings the songs of composer B, enter under B. This won't happen as often in popular/traditional music, but it does happen, even in area studies.

Per 19.2.1.1 3rd paragraph, if a work by composer A is substantially modified by composer B such that it changes the nature or content of the original, then composer B is credited with being the creator of a new work. In line with the Music Library Association recommendation, generally do not apply the RDA paragraph to compilations, even if all of the works are by the same composer.

RDA 20.2. For a collection of works by different creators, the performer of the works is defined as a contributor, not a creator. As a contributor, the performer cannot be assigned 1xx in the MARC bibliographic record or in an author/title MARC authority record.

There is no equivalent to AACR 21.23C, the "principal performer" rule. Under AACR2, for music sound recordings, choice of entry differed from book cataloging for a collection of two or more works by different composers: the bibliographic record for the sound recording was entered under the name of the person represented as the "principal performer." A principal performer could be a person or a group (corporate body).

NOTE: in the following example, the titles in 505 represent songs by multiple composers. Also, note that since the title proper From the heart is a very common audio recording title in popular music, it conflicts with other titles proper, so a 130 is made with a qualifier to differentiate it in the AAP. Per RDA 6.27.1.9, the preferred means of differentiating are: form, date, place of origin, and/or another distinguishing characteristic. It turns out there are multiple audio recordings with the title proper From the heart published in 2009 by different artists and published in New York, so neither form, date, nor place of origin are sufficient to differentiate the title. The logical distinguishing characteristic would be the artist name. Local policy: if a 130 is needed, do not create an authority record in NAF.

EXAMPLE. Same performer, single composer (LCCN 2003605759 modified for the RDA example).

Since the composer has to be the main entry, an added entry for Sinatra is required. Note that additional added entries justified by the 505 were also made, but this is certainly not required. The formatting of the 505 is not required. Locally, the 518 note is only required for the details of live performances, but include other types of edition history if the information is readily available. The RDA abandonment of the AACR2 "principal performer" rule also affects the series.

For live recordings, an added entry is generally not made for the place of recording. Added entries are generally not made for the publisher of the sound recording.

Other than 511, notes justifying added entries are not required (pcc core). Make a justifying note if the added or main entry is not established and the name is not recorded in 245.

Relationship Designators. Follow the PCC Guidelines on the assignment of relationship designators: PCC Task Group on Relationship Designators Final Report . Under the PCC guidelines, relationship designators are mandatory for RDA defined creators. They are recommended but not mandatory for performers. Do not follow the older music cataloging practice of assigning relators codes, e.g. ‡4 prf for performers.

Series added entry. The qualifier (Sound recording) is used only if there is a conflict with another series in a different format. This would be unusual for traditional/popular sound record, even though it is relatively common with audiobooks. For audiobooks, the series title may be the same for both the printed and spoken versions. LCRI 21.30L One or several series headings, 3b-c) Different physical media: the series heading for the sound recording must be distinguished from the series heading for the print version. Note that the LCRI says to use the media qualifier if the same title is used for the same work in different formats. So, the media qualifier is not required if the sound recording work's title conflicts with the series title of a different printed work, but neither is it forbidden provided there is a conflict. If there is no conflict, generally do not qualify the series title with anything.

EXAMPLE. Series no conflict; no media qualifier.

For popular/traditional music, there are detailed instructions under SHM H 1916.5 Music: Jazz and Popular Music and H 1917 Music of Ethnic, National, and Religious Groups. As yet LC has not issued guidelines or established headings for form/genre in music; continue to use 650.

For area studies, there can be overlap of the SHM guidelines for Popular music (H 1916.5) and Music of ethnic/religious groups (H 1917); the choice of subject can be based on a combination of both instruction sheets.

H 1916.5 Jazz and Popular Music

Under 1.b: "Assign the headings Popular music or Popular instrumental music when more specific headings for style or genre are not appropriate" If the specific heading cannot be assigned a chronological subdivision, it would be appropriate to pair it with Popular music/Popular instrumental music to bring out the chronological subdivision.

If the recording includes both vocal and instrumental music, use Popular music. Use Popular instrumental music for recordings consisting entirely of instrumental music.

2. "Geographic and chronological subdivisions.   Use geographic and chronological subdivisions for all items to which the subdivisions apply, collections and individual works."

2c. Special chronological subdivisions for certain headings.

The following chronological subdivisions may be used under Popular music: ‡y To 1901; ‡y 1901-1910; ‡y 1911-1920; etc. by decade.

More specific headings with chronological subdivisions:

Popular instrumental music ‡y To 1901; ‡y 1901-1910; ‡y 1911-1920, etc. by decade

Rock music: ‡y To 1961; ‡y 1961-1970; ‡y 1971-1980, etc. by decade

The other headings with chronological subdivisions are for American popular music: Jazz, Bluegrass music, Blues (Music), Country music (i.e., popular music genre associated with rural, southern, and western U.S. & Canada; do not use for rural traditional or popular music of other countries).

"2c.(2)(b.) Performed music (sound recordings, moving image materials, etc.).   Select chronological subdivisions on the basis of when the music was popular, or if that is not known, by the date of recording, etc."

H 1917 Music of Ethnic, National, and Religious Groups

Basic pattern for traditional music sound recordings uses a combination of these categories of headings. Unlike popular music, chronological subdivisions generally are not assigned.

a. 650 _0 ‡a [ethnic or national group] ‡z [place] ‡v Music.

b. 650 _0 ‡a [headings for music of individual religious groups] ‡z [place]

c. 650 _0 ‡a [ heading(s) for musical genre, type, or style, for ballads and songs, or for songs implying national emphasis].

and, as appropriate,

d. 650 _0 ‡a [heading(s) qualified by language of text

e. 650 _0 ‡a Musical instruments ‡z [place].

f. [other headings as applicable]

To navigate LCSH when searching for specific musical genre terms associated with a place, search under Popular music--[place]; Folk music--[place] and check out the NT lists under them. However, note that a few headings for traditional music forms that are popular in the Western world may be listed under Popular music rather than Popular music--[place]: Bhangra (Music), Celtic music, Klezmer music, Latin pop (Music), Salsa (Music), Zouk (Music).

a. If an ethnic group can be identified, use 650 _0 ‡a [ethnic group] ‡z [place--if appropriate] ‡v Music. However, use this pattern for national groups only if the place would not be the national group's own country. For music of the national group in its own country, use c. or d. below. Note that the restriction does not extend to music of a religious group identified with a country.

650 _0 ‡a Jews ‡z Poland ‡v Music.

650 _ 0 ‡a Ukrainians ‡z Poland ‡v Music. --but not:

650 _0 ‡a Ukrainians ‡z Ukraine ‡v Music.

b. Music of individual religious groups is not applied to Christian denominations. In LCSH, the established religious groups' musics should all be under Sacred music in the NT (narrower term) list in LCSH.

c. To bring out genre, type, or style, and also to bring out the locality, use one of the following with the appropriate geographic subdivision:

1. 650 _0 ‡a Music
2. 650 _0 ‡a Folk music
3. 650 _0 ‡a Popular music
4. 650 _0 ‡a Dance music
5. 650 _0 ‡a Folk dance music
6. 650 _0 ‡a Patriotic music

According to H 1917, it is no longer correct practice to assign Folk music to the music of a culture that does not distinguish between the art, popular, and folk genres; instead, the correct practice is to assign Music--[place]. [H 1917 gives no date when the practice changed.] LC does not give any explicit examples of such cultures, but in the list of general examples, the Quechua Indians of Peru are assigned Music--Peru; the Kabre people of Togo are assigned Music--Togo. In contrast, the French-Canadian music of Quebec is assigned Folk music--Quebec; traditional music of Hungarians is assigned Folk music--Hungary. Base your decision on existing precedent in recently cataloged LCSH. If there is no precedent, work by analogy--if Quechua Indians are assigned Music--Peru, then there is sufficient warrant to assign Music--Peru rather than Folk music--Peru to a recording of Jivaran Indians' music.

d. Place and language.

1. For music of an ethnic group from one country now living in a foreign country, bring out both countries in the subject array.

2. Use the language qualifier for songs (ballads, folk songs, children's songs, etc.) for up to 2 headings to bring out the original language of the songs. If the songs are sung in a translated version, do not bring out the translation language or use --Translations into [language]. For 3 or more languages don't add a language qualifier unless the languages are related, e.g. Ballads, Slavic. Also do not qualify by language song headings with a national emphasis: National songs, Political ballads and songs, War songs.

[e. Musical instruments. The array given in H 1917.5 2e. only applies to books about the topic & should not be used for sound recordings. ]

Examples (most of them originally LC production level; modified for RDA).

• All 260s were re-tagged to 264. If a phonogram "p" appeared with the date, it was replaced with brackets and a 264 _4 field was added. All 264 _4 fields should be considered optional. 
• In most of the original LC examples, duration was not provided. Since it is now core for pcc, an approximate duration has been added to the examples as a place-holder; it does not represent the duration of the actual manifestation. Exact total duration may be available from your playback system.
• In all of the examples, the codes in 336-337-338 are optional (the fields themselves are mandatory). When cataloging directly on OCLC, the template will provide the codes based on the format chosen.
• Relator codes were all replaced with relationship designators; only the RD's for composer and principal performer should be considered mandatory.

EXAMPLE 1 (parallel fields not included). Popular (not traditional) music.

Songs, Arabic has no established chronological subdivisions, so it is paired with Popular music to bring out the period. A heading for the form qualified by language is not mandatory under H 1916.5 but is part of the array generally assigned to music of ethnic groups (see previous page, H 1917 d.). The full H 1917 array is not generally assigned when combining H 1916.5 & H 1917. For popular, non-traditional music, note that H 1917 a. is not used--no 650 _0 ‡a Arabs ‡v Music. Choice of entry: should be under the artist since no composer is named.

EXAMPLE 2. Rock music.

Since Rock music has established chronological subdivisions, the Popular music heading is not needed. If the information was readily available, the members of the group would be entered in 511. This example is an LC production level record; in the original the required 500 note for the compact disc was lacking. In the example, the assumption is that the group composed its own songs, so it has been assigned to 110 rather than 710 (. In 041, first indicator 0 since it is not a translation. Use ‡d for the language(s) of the songs; additional language subfields for printed texts are not required under the new BSR for sound recordings.

EXAMPLE 3 Traditional music.

LC production level records leave out the 041 field; 041 added for Ndebele (Zimbabwe) in subfield d for language of the sung text. Original AACR2 choice of entry was the primary performer; moved to 700 under RDA. Although the 511 indicates modern instrumentation has been used, the subject treatment is for traditional rather than popular music, & is further supported by the first note, so the subject array follows H 1917 rather than H 1916.5. Following the H 1917 pattern, the cataloger has assigned a subject for the ethnic group, the musical genre, qualified by language.

The assumption is that the music for the Ndebele people does not distinguish among art, popular, and folk genres, so Music rather than Folk music is assigned. Both the general form [Music] and the specific form [Folk dance music] were assigned--but this practice is not consistent, perhaps due to the production level cataloging standards. Why not "Dance music" rather than "Folk dance music," to be consistent with the broader category of Music? But compare LCCN 96981493 Injabulo 2000.

EXAMPLE 4 Popular music.

LCCN 2005325527. Production level record (041 added). In this example, the music is unambiguously popular rather than traditional, so the subjects assigned for H 1917 are not used, i.e. no Music--Zimbabwe & ethnic group subjects. However, as in EXAMPLE 1, the form heading qualified by language of the text described in H 1917 has been used. Since a popular music heading is the primary subject, further subdivision by locality and chronological period is applied. Chimbetu appears to be the composer of the songs, so as primary creator he is entered in 100 (under either RDA or AACR2).

EXAMPLE 6 Music of religious group

The first subject Songs, Sanskrit should probably be subdivided geographically by India. In contrast, Folk songs, Yiddish in EXAMPLE 5 is not associated with a specific country & is subdivided appropriately. SCM H 1917 does not apply to form qualified by language--the second to last subject under EXAMPLE 3 (Ubuhlobo abuthengwa) was not subdivided since the locality was in the qualifier. In addition, the subdivision practice is inconsistent with the third subject.

These guidelines apply to SML cataloging in support of the general SML policy to shelve media resources with books in the LC classification sections of SML stacks and its collections.

Media type : assign a media term (CD or TAPE) as the last element of the call number before "(LC)" (if used), when the sound recording is the primary media type.

In LC classification, the M schedules do not provide classification specifically for sound recordings. Use the range M1627-M1853 Folk, National, and Ethnic Music. Although the range is a subsection of Vocal music, popular/traditional instrumental music should be entered here as well. See EXAMPLE 7. Generally, the countries with a high volume of sound recording publications are subarranged into General Works and Popular Music. The other countries are listed in sections labeled "Other regions or countries, A-Z." All countries on the "Other" list will have the same class number with a single Cutter number assigned to each country. NOTE: catalog records for sound recordings predating the policy documentation may exist under other numbers, e.g. ML421, which has been used for sound recordings of popular and jazz groups. Follow the new policy unless you are adding a copy.

Both General and Popular are further subdivided by Collections and Separate Works. Use the General Works range for music considered to be "classical" for that country's culture. Use Popular music for both folk-traditional and contemporary pop music.

Tip: since the range is quite lengthy, navigation can be facilitated by first selecting Hierarchy Classification Browser (bottom right of the ClassWeb Main Menu) & typing m1627 as the initial search. The initial display will be by broad region; click on your country's region and the countries will be listed in collapsed form, which can be expanded further.

CAUTION: African music is arranged by either ethnic group or country. The numbers for ethnic groups do not have separate Classical/Popular categories. Class traditional music by ethnic group, if possible. Class popular music by country. When in doubt, class to popular music and assign LCSH as popular music.

Note that Native Americans are in the ethnic range for North America, M1668-M1671.

Music of the Jews as an ethnic group is at the end of the Folk-National-Ethnic range, M1850-M1853. M1850 [General], M1851 [Zionist, Hasidic], M1852 [Yiddish], M1853 [Other dialects]. See EXAMPLE 8. For Jews in Israel or Palestine, use instead the country/region numbers: M1810-M1811.2, subarranged like other multi-number countries.

Keep in mind that sacred music of the Jews is classed elsewhere: M2186-M2187 [Liturgy and ritual; usually associated with the subject Synagogue music]. See EXAMPLE 9. For sacred vocal music not part of officially prescribed worship services, use M2114.3. For choruses use M2079.5 [with keyboard] or M2099.5 [unaccompanied].

For music of the Arabs in general, use M1828. Otherwise, use the specific numbers for the country or region. For Saudi Arabia, use the range M1792-M1798.2. For other Arab countries of Asia, use M1824-M1825. For the music of individual Arab countries in Africa, use M1838.A-Z.

For the sacred music of Islam, use M2188.I74 or, for vocal music, M2114.4.M88 (assuming most Islamic music is for solo voice).

Since LC applies these class numbers to many of the folk-national-ethnic sound recordings in its collection, it is OK to use the 050 tag for call numbers since the application of these numbers to sound recordings would not be a local practice. Do not include the media type as the last element of the call number in 050 _4.c

Examples following observe local policy in 050 _4. Examples do not represent a complete record; the original records often reflect LC production level or minimal level standards. Additional fields may have been added or changed to conform to standard practice. Subfields not required by BSR are noted <NR BSR>.

EXAMPLE 1. OCLC # 86112543. Hybrid of traditional/popular Japanese music. (Chindon Tsushinsha is a Japanese Dixeland band).  Standard YUL practice for CJK & Near East non-roman scripts is to use linking fields. The number following 880 in the roman script fields is the key to the sequence of the variable fields in the vernacular script at the end of the record. The vernacular script fields are linked back to the roman script fields via the MARC tags and their sequence numbers. The romanized and vernacular script fields are paired up in OCLC records but are automatically separated as part of the Voyager export processing to conform to Voyager protocols. Apparently there is no place in the schedules to enter folk-traditional instrumental music other than under Secular vocal music.

Although field 382 is not generally recommended, for non-Western instruments it may be of value, but only if the instruments have been established in the LCMPT thesaurus (on the ClassWeb menu, open Search Medium of Performance Terms). LCMPT does not list chindon or niko, so there is not much point in creating a 382 field. Compare with Example 7 on page 13 (gamelan).

EXAMPLE 2. LCCN 2005587656 (brief record modified for RDA). A standard record for YUL cataloging would include the linking fields. Under RDA 2.2.2.4.1 the source for the statement of responsibility is preferably the same source as the title proper. In this case, the preferred source for the title proper was the disc, but the statement of responsibility did not appear on the disc but appeared on the accompanying material issued with the disc. But accompanying material is still a preferred source (3rd choice), so it is not bracketed. RDA 2.4.1.7 allows insertion of bracketed information for "clarification of role." Under AACR2 6.1F1, a statement of responsibility for the performer could not be taken from accompanying material (and if the performer did not appear in the statement of responsibility, the performer could not be construed as the principal performer & could not be entered in 100). In either case, the performer ends up in 700, since RDA doesn't recognize the principal performer as a primary creator.

Exceptionally, the folk-traditional-ethnic range for music of China has additional special numbers for Chinese opera, M1805.3 [General] and M1805.4.A-Z [Local types & styles by region]. Neither YUL nor LC have any recent sound recordings. The numbers could also be applied to videos.

EXAMPLE 7. 2006340563. Indonesia is in an "Other regions or countries A-Z" section and is assigned only a Cutter number. Production-level cataloging; core level would probably have an added entry for the leader. Under AACR2 & the LCRIs, there were complicated reasons for not recording the performers in the statement of responsibility and for entering under title. Under RDA, assuming that the performers are not considered composers, entry under title is straightforward. Also under RDA, even if the performers did not appear on the disc label, they would be transcribed without brackets in the statement of responsibility as long as they appeared on the container issued with the disc.

Although this document does not generally recommend use of 382 at this time, it might be helpful to bring out non-Western instruments for international collections if the instruments were listed in LCMPT in the absence of genre/form terms for music that are still in development. There are more specific types of gamelan, e.g. gamelan degung, gamelan gong gede, etc., but it may not be clear from the resource which is which. Unless you are an expert in that type of music, assign the more general term. The indicators are always 01, and the source for the term is in ‡2.
