MUSIC REFERENCE Music in Libraries: Just the Basics SEMLA Preconference Workshop Oct. 20, 2016 Duke University Sara J. Beutter Manus Music Librarian for Education and Outreach / Vanderbilt University

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Name the questions to ask in a music reference interview. Identify the most common formats for music materials. Recognize the difficulties in finding songs (popular and classical) and instrumental music, and how to overcome them, Describe components that are used in a classical music title. Recognize the difficulties in finding world music. Name free internet sites (and paid electronic resources like WorldCat) to use in answering music reference questions. List basic music reference materials that your library may want to purchase.

WHAT MAKES MUSIC REFERENCE UNIQUELY CHALLENGING? various formats various instrumentation (and various terminology) of the musical work various arrangements various participants various editions or performances

UNIQUE CHALLENGE: COMMON PHYSICAL FORMATS FOR MUSIC

AUDIO FORMATS RECORDS Variable speeds 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm are the most common. Terminology vinyl, lps, 78s, 45s In many cases, the only performance of a work by a specific performer or group is available on one of these formats.

AUDIO FORMATS - TAPES Cassette tape. Reel-to-reel or open reel.

AUDIO FORMATS - DIGITAL DAT Compact disc Digital files (mp3, wav, wma, aif, etc.)

VIDEO FORMATS VHS tape Laserdisc DVD and blu-ray Digital files

THE MUSIC REFERENCE INTERVIEW

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR PRINTED MUSIC (SCORE) OR A RECORDING? The answer to this question determines which follow-up questions you will ask. Remember that the user might need both.

FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IF THE USER ASKS FOR A SCORE: User: I need a score to Beethoven s Op. 127 string quartet. Follow up: Do you need parts or a full score? User: I need a score to Mozart s bassoon concerto. Follow up: Do you need a full score or the piano reduction and part?

FULL SCORE

PART

CHORAL SCORE

VOCAL SCORE

SHEET MUSIC

LEAD SHEET / FAKE BOOK

FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IF THE USER ASKS FOR A RECORDING: You may need to ask what type of recording is needed: User: I need a recording of Marriage of Figaro. Follow Up: Would you prefer to listen to a sound recording, or would you like a DVD so you can watch the production? If the recording circulates outside of the library, does the user have the appropriate playback equipment to listen or view the material at home?

UNIQUE CHALLENGE: INSTRUMENTATION/PERFORMING FORCES ORCHESTRAL BAND INSTRUMENTAL CHORAL VOCAL CHAMBER SOLO OPERA SOLO

UNIQUE CHALLENGE: GENRE OR MUSICAL FORM SYMPHONY BALLET TOCCATA CONCERTO INSTRUMENTAL SONATA SUITE PARTITA PRELUDE INVENTIONS MOTET ANTHEM SONG PASSION HYMN MASS VOCAL ORATORIO ART SONG CANTATA ARIA CHORALE

SEARCHING THE CLASSIC CATALOG FOR MUSIC THE BASICS Use keyword searching. Include the composer s name and title elements as keywords. Limit your search by format.

THREE COMMON PROBLEMS Musical works often lack distinct titles. Music exists in multiple formats. A smaller work may be part of a larger work.

PROBLEM ONE: MUSICAL WORKS OFTEN LACK DISTINCT TITLES Solution: use the preferred title (formerly known as the uniform title). The preferred title links multiple manifestations of the same work within the library catalog. Used when the content is the same or similar but the wording of the title page is not. Even when a piece of music has a distinct title, the preferred title is helpful.

The Moonlight Sonata Sonata quasi una Fantasia Piano Sonata in C# Minor Sonata, Opus 27, No. 2

FORMULA FOR PREFERRED TITLES OF INSTRUMENTAL WORKS: Genre (form of piece) Medium of performance (instrumentation) Number Key

MOONLIGHT SONATA Sonatas, piano, no. 14, op. 27, no. 2, C# minor Genre Medium of performance Number Key

LET S TRY CONSTRUCTING SOME PREFERRED TITLES Mozart, String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 Bach, BWV 1013, Partita for Flute in A minor Steve Reich, Sextet for 2 pianos and percussion

Mozart, String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 Quartets, violins (2), viola, cello, K. 421, D minor

Bach, BWV 1013, Partita for Flute in A minor Partitas, flute, BWV 1013, A minor

Steve Reich, Sextet for 2 pianos and percussion Sextets, keyboard instruments (2), percussion

PROBLEM TWO: MUSIC EXISTS IN MULTIPLE FORMATS Solution limit your search format. In classic catalogs, searches are typically limited in the advanced search. In next-gen catalogs (discovery layers) searches are limited by facets.

OTHER TIPS FOR DECODING A PREFERRED TITLE

OTHER TIPS FOR DECODING A PREFERRED TITLE:

PROBLEM THREE: A SMALLER WORK MAY BE PART OF A LARGER WORK Solution If you can t find the smaller part, search for the entire work. If you can t find a specific aria, look for the entire opera. If you can t find Op. 6, no. 1 individually, look for all of the Op. 6.

RELATED PROBLEM FINDING A SINGLE WORK IN A COLLECTION Solution Look at the contents notes for the item. Depending on the cataloger, there me be added entries for each work in a collection.

NEED MORE INFORMATION ON A WORK? New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2 nd ed., edited by Stanley Sadie, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2001). The New Grove is available online as part of Oxford Music Online. NOTEWORTHY RESOURCES
