Music g/f terms in LCSH: Form/genre in $v$a Symphonies $v Scores and parts. $a is a genre/form or a medium of performance

$a Operas $v Vocal scores with piano. $a is a genre/form

$a Manichaeism $v Hymns. $a is a religious group

Genre/form + additions/combinations in LCSHConcertos (Bassoon) With medium of performance (following)

Bass clarinet music (Jazz) With medium of performance (preceding)

Rock music $z Norway. With geographic subdivison

Mexican Americans $v Music. With ethnic group

Children’s songs With other demographic group

Buddhist hymns With religious term

Sacred cantatas Combination of 2 g/f terms (Sacred music + Cantatas)

What’s wrong with this?• Variations in practice• Genre/form in different parts of the string ($a or $v or as a

qualifier)• Combined Demographic and Genre/Form terms • Combined Medium of performance and genre/form terms

• Endless combinations available• All combinations are not provided with authority records in

LCSH

The Solution: LCGFT + LCMPT• Collaboration between the Library of Congress, the Music Library Association

Cataloging and Metadata Committee (CMC) Vocabularies Subcommittee and the CMC Genre/Form Task Force• LCMPT terms published February 24, 2014

• 800 published in in initial phase• New terms added through SACO Music Funnel

• LCGFT terms published February 15, 2015• 567 published in initial phase• New terms continue to be added by the task force and Music funnel

Structure

• Thesaurus structure• Top term is “Music”• All terms have at least one BT, except top term• May have more than one BT (Polyhierarchy)

• The relationship between a term and multiple BTs is “and” not “or” (e.g., you cannot have a term whose BTs are “Cat” and “Dog”)

• Avoid terms that simply combine two BTs (e.g. Sacred songs) when possible• No language, demographic, religion, nationality terms, unless inherently part of the genre

name (e.g., Chinese operas vs Children’s songs)

Availability• OCLC Connexion (under ge: or genre)• id.loc.gov (under LCGFT)• Class Web (Search Genre/Form terms)• LC Authorities (as a subject search)

LCMPT - Highlights• Some gathering terms taken from a well-known instrument classification by

Sachs and Hornbostel, e.g., “aerophone;” “membranophone.”• Generally divided into single performers (instruments and voices) and

ensembles.flute flute choirchild‘s voice children’s chorusbrass instrument brass ensemble

MARC Coding for LCMPT

382 – Medium of Performance• 382 field is valid in both bibliographic and authority records• 1st indicator – Usually 0 for Medium of performance; occasionally 1 for

Partial medium of performance• 2nd indicator – Coded 1 in bib records for Intended for access; not

valid in authority records• $a – Medium of performance (where most of the LCMPT terms go)• $b – Soloist (when there is a featured instrument or voice)• $d – Doubling instrument (when a performer plays more than one

instrument

382 – Medium of Performance• $e – New! Number of ensembles • $n – Number of performers of the same medium• $p – Alternative medium of performance• $s – Total number of performers• $v – Note

382 – New developments• New MARC proposals next year will suggest:• A new subfield for total number of ensembles• $3 (Materials specified)• $5 (Institution to which field applies)

382 exampleMedium of performance: string quartet

New term?• All proposals for new or changed terms should go through the SACO

Music Funnel Project: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/saco/Music_Funnel.html• Currently proposed terms include:• ravanne• slide whistle• contrabass trombone

Other Facets

Deconstructing LCSH• Aside from genre/form and medium of performance, many LCSH

headings contain information about:

• Creator/contributor characteristics Music by African American composersRock music—Iceland• Audience characteristics Children’s songsMusic for the blind• Time period Operas—18th centuryPopular music—1971-1980• Language Folk songs, FrenchSongs, Vietnamese

Creator/Contributor Characteristics• MARC field 386• New vocabulary: Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT)

• A pilot vocabulary is available through Class Web, but it is not complete and is not currently recommended for use in cataloging.

• Terms from LCSH can be used in the meantime.

386 African Americans $2 lcdgt650 Music by African American composers. • Potential for use beyond what’s in LCSH, but no best practices yet.245 Symphony no. 1 / $c Jean Sibelius386 Finns $2 lcdgt

386 or 370?• For works originating from a particular place, there are two options:• Record Creator/Contributor characteristics in the 386• Record Place of origin of work in the 370 $g

386 Koreans $2 lcgdt (??)370 $g Korea $2 naf (??)650 Music $z Korea

• Look for best practices coming from LC/ALA

Audience Characteristics• MARC field 385• Terms from LCDGT would also apply

• Medium of performance (cello)• Form/genre #1: Arrangement• Form/genre #2 (heavily implied): some kind of art music (?)

382 01 cello $n 1 $s 1 $2 lcmpt• Best practices:

• Indicators 01, $2 lcmpt• Give most specific term(s) available• Give number in $n if known• Give total number in $s if known

• “Bi-level” assignment (cataloger’s judgment): ensemble term and specific instrumentation• Give number of ensembles in $e if known (1st 382)• Give soloists in $b (2nd 382)• Give alternate instruments in $p (2nd 382)

655 _7 Jazz. $2 lcgft655 _7 Scores. $2 lcgft655 _7 Parts (Music) $2 lcgft• Best practice:

• For notated music, give one or more terms as appropriate (follow RDA definitions)650 _0 Jazz $y 1961-1970.046 __ $k 1970 $2 edtf• Possible best practice:

• Give date of work in 046 $k (and $l if appropriate)

Compilations• Describing the whole vs. describing the parts• “Rule of three” and “rule of four” (from SHM) may be deprecated

• Three methods for providing form/genre access1. Describe the whole using an array of one or more higher-level terms2. Assign term(s) describing the whole and term(s) describing prominent parts3. Assign various term(s) describing *all* parts, omitting higher-level terms for

the whole

But not:655 _7 Sound recordings. $2 lcgft• Best practice:

• Do not assign “Sound recordings” for individual sound recordings that are not of a particular type (per scope note). Assign terms for particular types of sound recordings that are currently available in LCGFT (e.g., Live sound recordings, Original cast recordings)

Terms each describing one or more component works:655 _7 Chamber music. $2 lcgft655 _7 Waltzes (Music) $2 lcgft655 _7 Galops (Music) $2 lcgft655 _7 Polkas (Music) $2 lcgft655 _7 Songs. $2 lcgft655 _7 Marches (Music) $2 lcgft655 _7 Schottisches (Music) $2 lcgft

The Future of LCSH for Music• MLA-CMC Vocabularies Subcommittee spearheading the effort to develop algorithms

for generating LCMPT/LCGFT/LCDGT terms from LCSH

• LCSH likely to remain in score and sound recording records for some time to come• LCGFT/LCMPT algorithms may never be perfect• Discovery systems need time to catch up

• What about works about music?• Not all LCSH music form/genre/medium headings are topic-friendly (though many are)• What’s the granularity “cutoff”?• LC will eventually cancel headings deemed inappropriate/unneccessary for topical use

• Stay tuned!

For now• Continue to assign LCSH in bibliographic records• Adding LCMPT and LCGFT terms to your original records is highly

encouraged• In RDA or AACR2 records!

• Adding LCMPT and LCGFT terms to records you upgrade when copy cataloging is also encouraged• Other fields (046, 370, 385, 386, 388) are available for use, but keep

an eye out for emerging best practices• Descriptive Cataloging Manual, Z1 guidelines are a good starting point for now• LCDGT is still in a “beta” phase
