1 1 Miscellaneous Citation Formatting Advice for MUSIC 662 Using TABLES in a research paper. A table number and caption must appear above each table. If the data are not your own, but are retrieved from some other resource, you must cite that source in a single-spaced note directly below the table, beginning with the word Source it italics with colon. This is NOT a numbered footnote, BUT should follow the same format, and can be in the smaller type-size typical of footnotes. Any additional remark deemed necessary for an understanding of the table goes below the source note, introduced by the word Note in italics with colon. Table 1.

2 2 Using FIGURES in a research paper. Any illustration, such as a diagram, drawing, map, graph, or photograph is considered to be a figure. A figure number and caption (which can include lengthy explanatory or identifying material, single-spaced) must appear below each figure. If the figure was not created by you but was retrieved from some other resource, include the full citation to the source as part of the caption (NOT as a numbered footnote). Figure 3. Editorial staff of the New York Tribune during the 1850s, in a daguerreotype by the Brady Studio. William Henry Fry is standing, on the left; publisher and editor-in-chief Horace Greeley is seated, second from right. Next to Fry is Charles Dana, whom Lincoln would later appoint as assistant to the Secretary of War. Although each journalist had a specialty Fry s obviously was music all performed general copywriting and editing responsibilities and were trusted generally to share Greeley s political views. Before moving to New York, Fry had been Greeley s European political correspondent from 1850 to 1852 (preceded in this position by Margaret Fuller, succeeded by Karl Marx).

IMPORTANT- If you were to republish someone s copyrighted data table, illustrative/graphic material, or musical score-excerpt in a journal article, electronic dissertation, or personal web site, you would need WRITTEN PERMISSION from the rights-holder.

3 3 Using MUSICAL EXAMPLES in a research paper. Any notated musical example must be labeled as an Example, numbered, and captioned; this information appears above the example itself. The caption should identify the composer, the work, the movement or aria (if appropriate), and the exact measure numbers. Additionally, a numbered footnote reference must show the exact citation to the source. See Wingell, p (If subsequent examples will be derived from the same source, this can be mentioned in the first note and does not have to be repeated later.) Example 4. William Henry Fry, The Dying Soldier, mm Transcribed by the author from holograph in Music Manuscripts of William Henry Fry, Library Company of Philadelphia and Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Box 9. Examples 6, 7, and 9 are also from this source.

4 4 Gerber s Special Guidelines for Citing Internet or World Wide Web Sources for MUSI 662 Turabian/Chicago style prescribes that citation of online sources must include the resource vendor-name, the complete URL, and the date of access, in addition to proper author, title, source, and date attributions. These URLs are often lengthy, cryptic, and sometimes irretrievable for various reasons. Few are the readers who will laboriously type these strings of gibberish, and irritated indeed are those who discover that the access path is only through someone else's library subscription, or leads only to a dreaded 404 not found screen. The Modern Language Association (MLA) citation guidelines have abandoned URLs in favor of the term "Web" followed by retrieval date. MLA assumes that readers are now savvy enough locate the resources via their own institutional subscriptions or via Google searches. (I predict that Turabian/Chicago will someday abolish them also.) In MUSIC 662, I will OK the similar OMISSION of URLs. (IMPORTANT: in other courses, consult the instructor). When citing a journal article or a chapter from an e-book or dissertation, I suggest: follow the same format as for a print journal, book, or unpublished dissertation, but add the terms online or online via subscription, followed by date of access in parentheses. This gives the reader enough information to locate the material in whichever format he or she chooses, without distracting URLs. Examples: 1. Sion M. Honea, How to Select a Performing Edition, Music Educators Journal 88, no. 4 (January 2002): 26, online via subscription (accessed Oct. 12, 2010). 2. Hamid Ali Alkoot, Undergraduates Familiarity with and Preference for Arabic Music in Comparison with Other World Music (DA diss., Ball State University, 2009), 71, online via subscription (accessed October 23, 2011). When citing an individual web site or blog, your use of the resource's title and author (and date, if found) should be sufficient to allow an intelligent user of the internet to search for it. Here, follow the citation information with the term Internet site, followed by the date of access in parentheses. Examples: 3. Warren Steel, Sacred Harp Singing, s.v. Samples of Musical Notation, 2011, Internet site (accessed July 6, 2011). 4. Charles Cronin et al., Music Copyright and Infringement Resource, s.v. Court Cases : Selle v. Gibb, UCLA School of Law, 2011, Internet site (accessed Nov. 3, 2010).

5 5 5. Ohio State University School of Music, Music 829C: Research Approaches in Systematic Musicology, s.v. Sixty Methodological Potholes, N.d., Internet site (accessed 25 October 2006). In the case of rare items, such as 19 th -century periodicals not generally found in print collections but digitized by an electronic vendor, the database name (in italics) and its vendor might be very helpful to the reader, as in this example: 6. Concerts in Boston by the Hutchinson Family, Liberator 13, no. 8 (24 February 1843): 3, online via subscription to American Periodicals Series Online from ProQuest, 2006 (accessed 25 October 2006). If other puzzling online citation situations arise, we can brainstorm the most efficient format.

6 6 FOOTNOTE for a sound recording: 7. Max Bruch, Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor, op. 44 and Scottish Fantasy, op. 46, Itzhak Perlman, violin, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta (EMI Digital ), compact disc, Scott Joplin, Ragtime Waltz [arranged], Canadian Brass (CBC), online via subscription to Classical Music Library from Alexander Street Press, streaming audio, n.d. (accessed July 22, 2007). BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRIES corresponding to the above two notes: Bruch, Max. Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor, op. 44 and Scottish Fantasy, op. 46. Itzhak Perlman, violin, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta. EMI Digital Compact disc Joplin, Scott. Ragtime Waltz [arranged]. Canadian Brass. Online via subscription to Classical Music Library from Alexander Street Press. Streaming audio. (Accessed July 22, 2007.) FOOTNOTE for a video resource. This is not adequately treated in either Turabian 7 or Wingell! There is more than one way to cite a film or video, depending on what aspect of research and argumentation is being supported by the video source and how complete the information should be; here are three footnote examples, one general, two specific, referring to the very same DVD: 9. The Art of Conducting: Legendary Conductors of a Golden Era, produced by Marcos Klorman and directed by Peter R. Smith, 115 min., Teldec Video , 1997, DVD. Uses the title of the DVD (from the box cover, from the label, and/or from the inserted booklet) as the main element, and provides general citation information sufficient to locate this item in a library or purchase from a vendor. 10. Ludwig van Beethoven, Overture to Egmont, op. 84, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sergiu Celibidache, in The Art of Conducting: Legendary Conductors of a Golden Era, Teldec Video , 1997, DVD. The DVD in hand features several performances of various works; if the writer s interest is focused primarily on works of Beethoven, this would be one way to note the reference; the Egmont sequence is retrievable as a chapter on the DVD. 11. Sergiu Celibidache and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Beethoven: Overture to Egmont, op. 84, in The Art of Conducting: Legendary Conductors of a Golden Era, Teldec Video , DVD, The performance, staged in the post-war ruins of Berlin s Philharmonic Hall, was recorded on B&W motion picture film in If the writer is discussing conductors as a subject and particularizes Celibidache in the text, this note features him as the principal author (i.e. performer) and the overture as a chapter on the DVD. The writer also considers the actual date of capture (1947) and location important.
