PREFACEBackgroundDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music), referred to hereafter as <strong>DCRM</strong>(M),is one of a family of manuals that form Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials(<strong>DCRM</strong>) (see introductory section I.1), <strong>and</strong> is based on Descriptive Cataloging of<strong>Rare</strong> Materials (<strong>Books</strong>) (<strong>DCRM</strong>(B)), on the Anglo‐American Cataloguing Rules, secondedition, 2002 revision (AACR2), <strong>and</strong> subsequent updates, on the preliminaryconsolidated edition of ISBD (2007), which incorporates the rules formerly known asISBD(A): International St<strong>and</strong>ard Bibliographic Description for Older MonographicPublications (Antiquarian) <strong>and</strong> ISBD(PM): International St<strong>and</strong>ard BibliographicDescription for Printed Music, on the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRI),with particular attention paid to those that comprised the formerly separate MusicCataloging Decisions, <strong>and</strong> on music cataloging manuals, most notably, RichardSmiraglia’s Describing Music Materials: A Manual for Descriptive Cataloging, thirdedition, 1997.Along with two other <strong>DCRM</strong> component manuals, <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) was already wellunderway when work on RDA: Resource Description <strong>and</strong> Access (then calledAACR3) was announced. All <strong>DCRM</strong> editors considered postponing further workuntil after RDA’s publication, but agreed that it would be unwise to delay, given theprogress already made on the <strong>DCRM</strong> manuals <strong>and</strong> the considerable investment todate of time, labor, <strong>and</strong> money.Changes in <strong>DCRM</strong> from its earlier manifestationsAside from incorporating rules for more formats, the <strong>DCRM</strong> manuals include othersignificant changes from earlier editions focusing on rare books. They containintroductory sections on “Objectives <strong>and</strong> Principles” <strong>and</strong> “Precataloging Decisions”,the explicit incorporation of machine‐made material into the rule text <strong>and</strong> examples,the addition of Area 6, an appendix on early letter forms <strong>and</strong> symbols (includingimages of early letters <strong>and</strong> symbols accompanied by their correct transcriptions), ,appendixes on collection‐level cataloging, on minimal‐level cataloging <strong>and</strong>variations requiring the creation of a new bibliographic record. In <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) itself,there is an appendix with sample citation forms for music bibliographic resourcescited in cataloging records.<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) gives guidance <strong>and</strong> prescribes a rigorous <strong>and</strong> consistent approach totranscription <strong>and</strong> incorporates a sharp distinction between information transcribedDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 7


PREFACEfrom the source <strong>and</strong> information that has been supplied by the cataloger. Placingtranscribed information within square brackets is to be avoided as assiduously aspracticable (with the general exception of cases where a letter or character is unclear;see 0G6.2). Conversely, the presence of square brackets in those areas of thedescription that require transcription (see introductory section III.2.2) immediately<strong>and</strong> unambiguously identifies text as supplied or interpolated. Another notableissue related to rigorous transcription principles is that roman dates in the source aretranscribed as roman rather than arabic numerals.<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) adopts the changes from earlier rules for rare books that includerestricting transcription of the statement of responsibility to the chief source ofinformation, a discussion on the transcription of manufacturers in Area 4, theelimination of special status for engraved title pages in the statement of extent, thedropping of periods after cm <strong>and</strong> mm (approved for AACR2 in 2002 butimplementation deferred until publication in RDA), <strong>and</strong> an exp<strong>and</strong>ed section onlocal notes. Moreover, the language throughout has been made consistent <strong>and</strong>explicit.AcknowledgmentsMany people have contributed their time <strong>and</strong> effort in bringing <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) tofruition.

GENERAL RULESgenerate display features automatically. This usually means, for example, thatthe cataloger omits punctuation between areas, parentheses enclosing a seriesstatement, <strong>and</strong> certain words prefacing formal notes.III. Objectives <strong>and</strong> principlesThe instructions contained in <strong>DCRM</strong> are formulated according to the objectives<strong>and</strong> principles set forth below. These objectives <strong>and</strong> principles seek to articulatethe purpose <strong>and</strong> nature of specialized cataloging rules for rare materials. Theyare informed by long‐accepted concepts in bibliographic scholarship <strong>and</strong> theAnglo‐American cataloging tradition, as well as by more recent theoretical workimportant to the construction <strong>and</strong> revision of cataloging codes, namely theInternational Federation of Library Associations <strong>and</strong> Institutions’ FunctionalRequirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) <strong>and</strong> Elaine Svenonius’s TheIntellectual Foundation of Information Organization. They assume familiarity withthe FRBR terms used to categorize entities that are the products of intellectual orartistic endeavor (work, expression, manifestation, <strong>and</strong> item) as well asbibliographic terms used to differentiate among textual variants (edition, issue,impression, <strong>and</strong> state). It is hoped that these objectives <strong>and</strong> principles willprovide catalogers, <strong>and</strong> administrators of cataloging operations, with a betterunderst<strong>and</strong>ing of the underlying rationale for <strong>DCRM</strong> instructions.III.1. Functional objectives of <strong>DCRM</strong>The primary objectives in cataloging rare materials are no different from those incataloging other materials. These objectives focus on meeting user needs to find,identify, select, <strong>and</strong> obtain materials. However, users of rare materials oftenbring specialized requirements to these tasks that cannot be met by generalcataloging rules, such as those contained in the latest revision of AACR2. Inaddition, the st<strong>and</strong>ard production practices assumed in general cataloging rulesdo not always apply to rare materials. The following <strong>DCRM</strong> objectives aredesigned to accommodate these important differences.III.1.1. Users must be able to distinguish clearly among differentmanifestations of an expression of a workThe ability to distinguish among different manifestations of an expression of awork is critical to the user tasks of identifying <strong>and</strong> selecting bibliographicresources. In general cataloging codes like AACR2, it is assumed thatabbreviated <strong>and</strong> normalized transcription is sufficient to distinguish amongmanifestations. Users of rare materials, however, often require fuller, moreDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 13


GENERAL RULESfaithful transcriptions, greater detail in the physical description area, <strong>and</strong> carefulrecording of various distinguishing points in the note area, in order to identifyseparate manifestations. Additionally, users of rare materials are typicallyinterested in drawing finer distinctions among variants within manifestationsthan are users of other materials, including not simply between editions <strong>and</strong>issues but between variant impressions <strong>and</strong> states; many also need to distinguishbetween copies at the item level.III.1.2. Users must be able to perform most identification <strong>and</strong> selection taskswithout direct access to the materialsUsers of rare materials frequently perform identification <strong>and</strong> selection tasksunder circumstances that require the bibliographic description to st<strong>and</strong> as adetailed surrogate for the item (e.g., consultation from a distance, limited accessdue to the fragile condition of the item, inability to physically browse collectionshoused in restricted areas, etc.). Accuracy of bibliographic representationincreases subsequent efficiency for both users <strong>and</strong> collection managers. The sameaccuracy contributes to the long‐term preservation of the materials themselves,by reducing unnecessary circulation <strong>and</strong> examination of materials that do notprecisely meet users’ requirements.III.1.3. Users must be able to investigate physical processes <strong>and</strong> postproductionhistory <strong>and</strong> context exemplified in materials describedUsers of rare materials routinely investigate a variety of artifactual <strong>and</strong> postproductionaspects of materials. For example, they may want to locate materialsthat are related by printing methods, illustration processes, binding styles <strong>and</strong>structures, provenance, genre/form, etc. The ability of users to identify materialsthat fit these criteria depends upon full <strong>and</strong> accurate descriptions <strong>and</strong> theprovision of appropriate access points.III.1.4. Users must be able to gain access to materials whose production orpresentation characteristics differ from modern conventionsIn order to distinguish among manifestations, general cataloging codes likeAACR2 rely on explicit bibliographic evidence presented in conventional form(e.g., a formal edition statement on the title page or its verso). In rare materials,such explicit evidence will often be lacking or insufficient to distinguish amongdifferent manifestations. That which is bibliographically significant may thus beobscured.14 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


GENERAL RULESIII.2. Principles of <strong>DCRM</strong> constructionTo meet the objectives listed above, <strong>DCRM</strong> relies upon the following sixprinciples. These principles are influenced by the general principles ofbibliographic description offered by Svenonius: user convenience;representation; sufficiency <strong>and</strong> necessity; st<strong>and</strong>ardization; <strong>and</strong> integration.III.2.1. Rules provide guidance for descriptions that allow users to distinguishclearly among different manifestations of an expression of a workThis principle derives from the general principle of user convenience <strong>and</strong> hasimplications for all areas of the bibliographic description. The principle relates toobjective 1 stated above.III.2.2. Rules provide for accurate representations of the entity as it describesitself, notably through instructions regarding transcription,transposition, <strong>and</strong> omissionThis principle derives from the general principles of representation (with itsrelated subprinciple of accuracy) <strong>and</strong> of st<strong>and</strong>ardization. Precise representationis of particular relevance in those areas of the description that requiretranscription (the title <strong>and</strong> statement of responsibility area, the edition area, thepublication, distribution, etc., area, <strong>and</strong> the series area), but should not beignored in the physical description <strong>and</strong> note areas. The general principles ofrepresentation <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ardization st<strong>and</strong> in greater tension with each otherwhen cataloging rare materials. Faithfulness to both principles may requiredescriptive <strong>and</strong> annotative treatment necessarily exceeding the norms (<strong>and</strong> attimes the vocabulary) established as sufficient for the description of generalmaterials. The principle relates to objectives 2 <strong>and</strong> 4 stated above.III.2.3. Rules provide guidance for the inclusion of manifestation‐specific <strong>and</strong>item‐specific information that permits users to investigate physicalprocesses <strong>and</strong> post‐production history <strong>and</strong> context exemplified in theitem describedThis principle derives from the general principle of sufficiency <strong>and</strong> necessity(with its related subprinciple of significance). Application of the principlerequires that rules for rare materials cataloging provide additional guidance onaccess points, particularly in cases where such information is not integral to themanifestation, expression, or work described. Rules for item‐specific informationappearing in the note area may recommend st<strong>and</strong>ard forms for presentation ofDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 15


GENERAL RULESinformation (addressing the general principle of user convenience <strong>and</strong> its relatedsubprinciple of common usage). Application of such rules presumes both a user’sneed for such information <strong>and</strong> a cataloger’s ability to properly describe suchaspects. The principle relates to objective 3 stated above.III.2.4. Rules provide for the inclusion of all elements of bibliographicalsignificanceGeneral cataloging codes like AACR2 routinely strive for both brevity <strong>and</strong>clarity, principles affiliated with the general principle of sufficiency. Indescribing rare materials, too great an emphasis on brevity may become theoccasion for insufficiency <strong>and</strong> lack of clarity. Brevity of description may bemeasured best against the functional requirements of the particular bibliographicdescription rather than against the average physical length of other bibliographicdescriptions in the catalog. The tension between rules for rare materials thatpromote accurate representation of an item <strong>and</strong> yet do not exceed therequirements of sufficiency is great. Reference to the principle of userconvenience may offer correct resolution of such tensions. This principle isrelated to all of the objectives stated above.III.2.5. Rules conform to the substance <strong>and</strong> structure of the latest revision ofAACR2 to the extent possible; ISBD serves as a secondary referencepointThis principle relates to general principles of st<strong>and</strong>ardization <strong>and</strong> userconvenience (with the latter’s subprinciple of common usage). <strong>DCRM</strong> assumesthat users of bibliographic descriptions constructed in accordance with itsprovisions operate in contexts where AACR2 (often as interpreted <strong>and</strong> appliedby the Library of Congress) is the accepted st<strong>and</strong>ard for the cataloging of generalmaterials. Therefore, <strong>DCRM</strong> uses existing AACR2 vocabulary in a mannerconsistent with AACR2; any additional specialized vocabulary necessary fordescription <strong>and</strong> access of rare materials occurs in a clear <strong>and</strong> consistent mannerin <strong>DCRM</strong> rules, appendixes, <strong>and</strong> glossary entries. <strong>DCRM</strong> does not introducerules that are not required by differences expected between rare <strong>and</strong> generalmaterials. Numbering of areas within <strong>DCRM</strong> conforms to the structure of ISBDas implemented in AACR2. When an existing AACR2 rule satisfies therequirements of cataloging rare materials, <strong>DCRM</strong> text is modeled on AACR2 text(substituting examples drawn from rare materials for illustration). In cases wherethe language of AACR2 is not precise enough to convey necessary distinctions ormay introduce confusion when dealing with rare materials, <strong>DCRM</strong> uses carefully16 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


GENERAL RULESconsidered alternative wording. Wording of relevant ISBD st<strong>and</strong>ards was alsoconsidered when deviating from AACR2.IV. OptionsAvailable options are indicated in one of three ways.Alternative rule designates an alternative option which affects all or severalareas of the description, <strong>and</strong> which must be used consistently throughout. In<strong>DCRM</strong>(M), alternative rules apply to the transcription of originalpunctuation <strong>and</strong> to the creation of separate records for individualimpressions, states, binding variants, or copies. “Optionally” introduces an alternative treatment of an element. “If considered important” indicates that more information may be added in anote, <strong>and</strong> thus signals choices for more or less depth in the description. Thisphrase covers the entire range between best practice on the one end, <strong>and</strong>highly specialized practices on the other.The cataloging agency may wish to establish policies <strong>and</strong> guidelines on theapplication of options, leave the use of options to the discretion of the cataloger,or use a combination of the two.V. Language preferences<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) is written for an English‐speaking context. Cataloging agenciespreparing descriptions in the context of a different language should replaceinstructions <strong>and</strong> guidelines prescribing or implying the use of English into theirpreferred language (see 4B3‐4, 4B8‐12, 4F, <strong>and</strong> areas 5 <strong>and</strong> 7).VI. Spelling <strong>and</strong> style<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) uses Merriam‐Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, eleventh edition, as itsauthority in matters of spelling, <strong>and</strong> in matters of style, the fifteenth edition ofthe Chicago Manual of Style.VII.

The instructions <strong>and</strong> guidelines in area 7 are written in imperativeform. This does not imply that all notes are required; on the contrary, most notesare not (see 7A1.6). Consult the other areas of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) in order to ascertainwhat is required <strong>and</strong> what is optional in any given situation (see 7A1). Theconventions for notes included as part of the examples are as follows. “Note” indicates that the note is required if applicable to the situation. “Optional note” indicates that the note is not required. The labeling of a noteas “optional” in these rules carries no judgment about its importance (seeintroductory section IV); certain notes designated as “optional” may in factbe almost universally applied. “Local note” indicates a note describing copy‐specific information which isrequired if applicable to the situation (see 7B20). “Optional local note” indicates that the note concerns copy‐specificinformation not affecting areas 1‐6. It is not required, but must be clearlyidentified as a local note according to the provisions of 7B20.1.1. Copy‐18 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


GENERAL RULESX. Precataloging decisionsBefore a bibliographic record can be created for a music monograph, or group ofmonographs, awaiting cataloging in an institution’s special collections,appropriate decisions must be made regarding the array of descriptive optionsavailable to the cataloger. These precataloging decisions include: determiningwhether <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) or AACR2 rules will govern the description, choosing thelevel of cataloging that will be applied, <strong>and</strong> determining the extent to whichvarious options in the rules will be exercised.Because <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) was written to address the special needs of users of raremusic materials, it is likely to be the appropriate cataloging code for the majorityof music monographs held in special collections. However, for some categories ofmaterials, the cataloging objectives (see introductory section III) may be met byuse of AACR2 or by the application of options within the <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) rules thatpermit less detail in the description. Full‐level <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) records that employ allpossible descriptive options will not necessarily be the best choice for every item.The following section provides guidance for catalogers <strong>and</strong> catalogingadministrators faced with these decisions <strong>and</strong> identifies some of the institutional<strong>and</strong> contextual factors that should be taken into consideration. It assumes thatcertain routine choices will already have been made, such as whether theencoding st<strong>and</strong>ard for the description will be MARC 21 <strong>and</strong> whether a resourceissued as part of a monographic series or multipart monograph will be analyzed.Institutions may promote efficiency by setting cataloging policies for specificcategories of materials in their collections rather than making decisions on anitem‐by‐item basis. For example, an institution may decide to catalog all musicprior to a locally‐set date (such as 1900) using <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) or to trace printers <strong>and</strong>music sellers for all pre‐18th‐century music, but give signature statements <strong>and</strong>expansive descriptive notes for 16th‐century music only. It may choose to catalogall later music according to AACR2, but add selected genre/form or provenancename headings. It may decide that collection‐level cataloging is sufficient for allsheet music. A mechanism for easily making exceptions to general catalogingpolicy is desirable as well. If, for example, a curator buys music for its notablebinding, description of <strong>and</strong> access to the binding ought to be given in thebibliographic record, even if it is not the institution’s usual policy to describebindings.20 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


GENERAL RULESX.1. Decisions to make before beginning the descriptionX.1.1. Whether to catalog as a book or as musicThe difference between a book <strong>and</strong> musical score may seem clear cut, but inreality, there is a certain amount of material that may be described one way orthe other. Some examples include: a monograph that includes nearly equalamounts of text <strong>and</strong> music; a monograph that is primarily text but provides titlesfor tunes <strong>and</strong>/or melodies for some of the text; a monograph that is primarily textbut has a large number of musical examples; a musical “score” that consists ofwritten instructions.In most cases, cataloging guidelines have been developed that provideinstruction on how to catalog these materials, a prominent example beingOCLC’s Bibliographic St<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> Formats.X.1.2. Item‐level vs. collection‐level descriptionDetermine whether the material will receive item‐level description, collectionleveldescription, or some combination of the two.Item‐level cataloging represents the normative application of the <strong>DCRM</strong>(M)rules. Guidelines for creating collection‐level descriptions are found in AppendixB. Collection‐level cataloging is usually faster than item‐level—sometimesdramatically so—but is attended by such a substantial loss of specificity that itsuse as the sole final cataloging for a group of items should be chosen only aftercareful consideration. The lack of specificity can be mitigated through provisionof some sort of item‐level control, such as an inventory list, finding aid, ordatabase, <strong>and</strong> such an approach is highly recommended. Collection‐levelcataloging of rare materials is most suitable when items have minimal value inthemselves but derive value as part of a collection. Use of collection‐level controlby itself may be appropriate when users are unlikely to be seeking known items,or the risk of inadvertent purchase of duplicate individual items is consideredinsignificant. Collection‐level control alone is unlikely to provide adequateevidence to identify materials following a theft.A combination approach would entail individual cataloging of all or selecteditems in the collection in addition to the creation of a collection‐level record. Suchan approach may involve phased processing, whereby the cataloger creates acollection‐level record to provide immediate basic access to the collection, <strong>and</strong>Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 21


GENERAL RULESfaithful transcription <strong>and</strong> detailed, complete physical description. Althoughsome notes are required (e.g., the source of the title proper if not the title page),most are optional <strong>and</strong> can be applied selectively depending on the nature of acollection or an institution’s needs. For example, signature statements,descriptions of illustrative elements, names of illustrators <strong>and</strong> others responsiblefor such elements, <strong>and</strong> particular attributes of the item in h<strong>and</strong> may be includedor omitted as desired.Although treatment of headings is outside the scope of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M), full‐level recordstypically contain a full complement of name <strong>and</strong> subject headings. In addition tothose typically given to general materials, <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) full‐level records may containheadings for printers, publishers, illustrators, performers, engravers, former owners,binders, etc. The name <strong>and</strong> name/uniform title headings need not be establishedusing authority records, although full authority work, especially if contributed to theLC/NACO Authority File, will result in greater consistency of headings <strong>and</strong>improved access. 4The addition of genre/form headings is particularly encouraged in full‐level records.These may be used to provide access by physical form or specific aspects of an item(e.g., Advertisements, Annotations). Prefer terms found in the official thesaurimaintained by the RBMS Bibliographic St<strong>and</strong>ards Committee; 5 terms from otherauthorized thesauri (e.g., the Ethnographic Thesaurus 6 ) may also be used asappropriate. Music form/genre terms are part of the Library of Congress subjectheadings.X.1.5. Bibliographic variantsIf two or more items can be identified as bibliographic variants of an edition,decide whether to describe them using a single bibliographic record or multiplerecords.It is taken as a default approach in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) that a separate record will be madefor each variant that represents what is referred to as an “edition” in AACR2 <strong>and</strong>an “issue” in bibliographic scholarship. However, this default approach is not4If an institution is a BIBCO participant contributing full‐level records as part of the Programfor Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), all headings must be established in the LC/NACO <strong>and</strong>LC/SACO Authority Files.5These thesauri include: Binding Terms; Genre Terms; Paper Terms; Printing <strong>and</strong> PublishingEvidence; Provenance Evidence; <strong>and</strong> Type Evidence.6Produced by The American Folklore Society; available at: .Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 23


GENERAL RULESprescriptive <strong>and</strong> indeed may not be desirable in every situation. Within the rules,alternatives are provided (see 2B3.2, 2B4.2, 2D2, 4H) that permit the creation ofseparate records for individual impressions, states, binding variants, or copies.Once the decision has been made to apply these alternative rules, the catalogermust be consistent in applying them to all areas of the description. For furtherguidance on the cataloging of bibliographic variants, see Appendix E.X.2. Factors to consider in making these decisionsConsider the following factors when determining appropriate levels ofdescription <strong>and</strong> access for materials awaiting cataloging. These factors will helpto identify items that might deserve more detailed descriptions or higher prioritytreatment.X.2.1. Institution’s mission <strong>and</strong> user needsEvaluate the relevance of the items awaiting cataloging to the institution’smission <strong>and</strong> the needs of its users. Ideally, the institution will have developedinternal documentation that will facilitate such an evaluation, including amission statement, collection development guidelines, <strong>and</strong> a listing of constituentusers <strong>and</strong> their anticipated needs. The needs of both patrons (researchers,teachers, students, etc.) <strong>and</strong> staff (collection development, reference, technicalservices, etc.) should be taken into consideration.X.2.2. Institutional <strong>and</strong> departmental resourcesEvaluate institutional <strong>and</strong> departmental resources, especially staffing levels,expertise, <strong>and</strong> current workloads. Is staff able to keep up with the inflow of new materials? Is there a reasonable balance between resources devoted to acquiringmaterials <strong>and</strong> those devoted to processing them? Is current staff expertise in languages, subject areas, descriptive st<strong>and</strong>ards,<strong>and</strong> encoding st<strong>and</strong>ards adequate for implementing <strong>and</strong>/or completingproposed work plans? Is staff able to work concurrently with more than one code <strong>and</strong>/ordescription level? Are funding <strong>and</strong> space available for hiring new temporary or permanentstaff with the necessary qualifications? Are adequate reference sources, such as specialized bibliographies, available24 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


GENERAL RULESfor staff use? How many other projects are in process <strong>and</strong> what are their requirements <strong>and</strong>priorities? The regular review of cataloging priorities is highly recommended <strong>and</strong>should include discussions with curatorial, public services, technicalservices, <strong>and</strong> preservation staff.X.2.3. Market value <strong>and</strong> conditions of acquisition of the item or collectionConsider the conditions of acquisition <strong>and</strong> the estimated market worth of theitem or collection awaiting cataloging. Does the monetary or public relations value of the material justify a higherlevel of access than would otherwise apply? Have any access requirements been imposed by a donor as part of the termsof acquisition? Is the item or collection accompanied by bibliographic descriptions that willfacilitate cataloging?X.2.4. Intellectual <strong>and</strong> physical characteristics of the item or collectionFinally, evaluate the intellectual <strong>and</strong> physical characteristics of the itemsawaiting cataloging. Is there a unifying characteristic that would justify <strong>and</strong> facilitate thedescription of the materials as a collection (e.g., author, publisher, place ofpublication, genre/form, etc.)? Is a particular collection renowned? Do the materials have a topical focus that has recently acquired importanceor urgency (e.g., due to a scholarly conference hosted by the institution or thehiring of a new professor with a particular specialty)? Is cataloging copy generally available? Were the items purchased primarily for their content? Do the specific copies have bibliographic or artifactual value? Is the institution collecting deeply in the area? Are detailed descriptions likely to reveal bibliographic variants that will beof interest to researchers?Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 25


GENERAL RULES Are detailed descriptions likely to help prevent the inadvertent purchase ofduplicates or the failure to acquire desirable variants? Is the item or collection vulnerable to theft or v<strong>and</strong>alism? Would a more detailed description help prevent unnecessary h<strong>and</strong>ling bystaff <strong>and</strong> researchers?26 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft

If the music has more than one title page, choose as the chief source ofinformation one of the following, applying the first applicable criterion:a) If the title pages present the music in different aspects (e.g., as anindividual publication <strong>and</strong> as part of multi‐volume music), prefer the onethat corresponds to the aspect in which the item is to be treated.b) If the music is in more than one volume, each of which has a title page,use the title page in the first volume (or the lowest numbered volume ifthe first volume is not available).c) If the music is in one volume <strong>and</strong> the chief difference between multipletitle pages is imprint date, choose the one with the latest date.d) If the music is in one volume <strong>and</strong> the chief difference between two titlepages is that one is letterpress <strong>and</strong> the other is not, choose the letterpresstitle page.e) If the music has the same information on the title page(s) in more than onelanguage or script, choose the title page that is in the language or script ofthe main part of the resource.f) If two title pages face one another, choose the one on the recto of its leaf.g) If two or more title pages follow one another, choose the first one.Whenever any of the above criteria are applied, make a note indicating thesource chosen as the chief source of information.0C2.2. Multipart music. If music consists of several simultaneous parts (e.g.score <strong>and</strong> parts), choose as the source of the chief source the part that gives themost information, usually the score if present. Make a note indicating the partchosen if other than the score. If the title pages of other parts differ from that ofthe chief source, indicate the variations in a note, if deemed important.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 29

Notes qualify <strong>and</strong> amplify the formal description, especially when therules for such description do not allow certain information to be included in theother areas. Notes can therefore deal with any aspect of the music.7A1.2. Notes, by their nature, cannot be enumerated exhaustively, but can becategorized in terms of the areas of description to which they pertain. In additionto notes relating to these areas, there are notes that do not correspond to any areaof the formalized areas of description. Occasionally it may be useful to grouptogether notes that refer to more than one area, for instance when they are allbased on one source within the work, such as a privilege statement.7A1.3. If the description in the areas preceding the note area does not clearlyidentify the item being cataloged, make whatever notes are necessary forunambiguous identification. When appropriate, refer to detailed descriptions inst<strong>and</strong>ard catalogs or bibliographies. Provide sufficient information to identify thespecific source, whether using a general note, a formal “References” note givingthe source in prescribed form (see 7B15), or some combination of the two.7A1.4. For manuscripts, notes may aid both in identifying unique items <strong>and</strong> indescribing elements of the unique item’s context <strong>and</strong> research value, such asevidence of the creative process, variant version of the work, performance orpublication history of the work, or use <strong>and</strong> ownership of the artifact. Notes maybe made to justify added entries associated with the work or artifact, such as textsources, translators, dedicatees, performers, or former owners. Notes may begiven individually, or some or all notes may be included in a single narrativesummary.7A1.5.

Make local notes on any special features or imperfections of the copybeing described when they are considered important. This information is highlydesirable in the context of rare materials cataloging, which puts greater emphasison materials as artifacts than is usual in general cataloging practice. These notescan also provide warrant for added entries (e.g., added entries for the names offormer owners or binders, for various kinds of provenance evidence, bindingcharacteristics, etc.). For published music, these notes should be identified aslocal notes <strong>and</strong> carefully distinguished from other kinds of notes that recordinformation valid for all copies of the bibliographic unit being cataloged.For many older publications, it may not be readily ascertainable whether thecharacteristics of a single copy are in fact shared by other copies.

APPENDIX A. MARC 21 DESCRIPTIVE CONVENTIONS CODEA1. IntroductionIn MARC 21 bibliographic records, a code may be used in field 040, subfield ‡e,to indicate when specific cataloging conventions have been followed in addition tothe conventions identified in the descriptive cataloging form (Leader/18). Thisappendix offers guidance in using “dcrmm,” the code designating <strong>DCRM</strong>(M), in040 subfield ‡e.A2. Full‐level <strong>DCRM</strong>(M)Apply the code “dcrmm” to records for resources cataloged at full level (i.e., thenormative application of these rules). The fact that such records follow the fulllevelprovisions of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) is indicated by the blank value assigned in theencoding level (Leader/17) <strong>and</strong> the code “dcrmm” in 040 subfield ‡e.A3. Collection‐level <strong>DCRM</strong>(M)Do not apply the code “dcrmm” to records for resources cataloged according tothe collection‐level guidelines found in Appendix B. The fact that such recordscontain collection‐level descriptions is indicated by the value c assigned in thebibliographic level (Leader/07). The guidelines in Appendix B suggest factors toconsider in constructing collection‐level records for rare materials <strong>and</strong> provideexamples useful in a special collections context. However, the conventionsconform substantially to those governing st<strong>and</strong>ard collection‐level descriptions,as presented in Cataloging Service Bulletin, no. 78 (Fall 1997).A4. Minimal‐level <strong>DCRM</strong>(M)Apply the code “dcrmm” to records for resources cataloged according to theminimal‐level guidelines found in Appendix D. The fact that such records followthe minimal‐level provisions of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) is indicated by the value 7 assigned inthe encoding level (Leader/17) <strong>and</strong> the code “dcrmm” in 040 subfield ‡e.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 159


APPENDIX A. MARC 21 DESCRIPTIVE CONVENTIONS CODEA5. Microforms <strong>and</strong> digital reproductions of musicApply the code “dcrmm” to records for microforms <strong>and</strong> digital reproductions ofmusic if the descriptive portion of the record conforms to <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) (full orminimal level). If, however, <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) (full or minimal level) is not used in allaspects but instead in some hybrid fashion, do not use the code “dcrmm”.A6. Other formatsDo not apply the code “dcrmm” to records for other formats such as books,serials, maps, <strong>and</strong> graphics, even though they may have been catalogedaccording to an adapted, “<strong>DCRM</strong>(M)‐like” st<strong>and</strong>ard. 26A7. “Special collections cataloging”In this context “special collections cataloging” means fuller use of notes, accesspoints, <strong>and</strong> other elements that are not specifically called for in AACR2 or itspredecessors, but that follow the spirit of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) without following its rulescompletely. Such cataloging is frequently done for 19th‐century <strong>and</strong> latermaterials housed in special collections. Do not apply the code “dcrmm” torecords for “special collections cataloging” unless the cataloging follows thedescriptive requirements of <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) completely (full or minimal level).A8. Earlier codesIf an existing record contains an earlier code in 040 subfield ‡e, such as “dcrb”(Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> <strong>Books</strong>) or “bdrb” (Bibliographic Description of <strong>Rare</strong><strong>Books</strong>), <strong>and</strong> the description is being updated to <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) st<strong>and</strong>ards, delete theearlier code <strong>and</strong> add the “dcrmm” code to the end of the 040 field in subfield ‡e.26Use a <strong>DCRM</strong> component manual for the format being described if one exists.160 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


APPENDIX B. COLLECTION‐LEVEL RECORDSB1. IntroductionB1.1. This appendix offers guidance in the creation of bibliographic records forcollections of printed or manuscript music that will receive collection‐leveltreatment based on administrative or curatorial decisions. Several rationales canbe cited to justify a decision to use collection‐level cataloging: It can be a means of highlighting the shared characteristics of a collection ofmaterials by providing a summary‐level description, thereby “adding value”to any other forms of intellectual access, such as item‐level records, <strong>and</strong>revealing collection strengths that may not otherwise be obvious. It can be a means of providing temporary control of unprocessed collections. It can be a cost‐effective means of providing bibliographic control for lowpriorityitems. Although this might seem to promise a solution to theproblem of an institution’s limited means, it should be understood thatadequately arranging <strong>and</strong> processing collections prior to cataloging alsotakes time. Since there are significant costs associated with under‐catalogedmaterials, this rationale should be used with careful consideration.B1.2. A collection‐level record may serve as the sole method of access for thecollection, with contents information provided in notes. Some or all of thecollection may also be represented by item‐level bibliographic records, whichmay be created at any level of fullness using cataloging rules such as AACR2 orcomponents of <strong>DCRM</strong>. Item‐level access may also be provided for some or all ofthe collection through inventories, finding aids, or databases (referred tohereafter as “finding aids”), which may be linked to collection‐level records.Providing some form of item‐level access to resources represented by acollection‐level record offers significant benefits for users <strong>and</strong> reduces the risk ofredundant acquisition of those resources. Decisions about the appropriate type<strong>and</strong> level of description should be made based on institutional goals, priorities,<strong>and</strong> resources, as well as the attributes of the collections themselves.B1.3. The following guidelines are based on those issued by the Library ofCongress for collection‐level cataloging published in Cataloging Service Bulletin,no. 78 (Fall 1997). Examples have been added, drawn from the types ofcollections likely to be found in special collections libraries. Catalogers creatingcollection‐level records will also need to consult the appropriate cataloging rules,Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 161


APPENDIX B. COLLECTION‐LEVEL RECORDSMARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data, <strong>and</strong> their local system documentation inorder to create useful, descriptive, <strong>and</strong> complete records using the various fieldsavailable to describe collections, as well as to create additional access points.Catalogers wishing to contribute collection‐level records as part of the Programfor Cooperative Cataloging will need to consult the relevant instructions inBIBCO Core Record St<strong>and</strong>ards.B1.4. These guidelines are not intended for description of traditional archival ormanuscript collections. Rules for cataloging such collections are addressed inspecialized sets of rules such as Describing Archives: A Content St<strong>and</strong>ard. However,many of the activities associated with arranging <strong>and</strong> describing traditionalarchival or manuscript collections also pertain to collections of printed materials<strong>and</strong> inform these guidelines.B2. Selection of materialsB2.1. Collections normally fall into one of three categories: groups of items that come to a library already well organized by a previousowner groups of items that come from a single source, but with minimal or noprevious organization groups of items that are assembled into collections by the library for thepurpose of processing <strong>and</strong> storage, <strong>and</strong> are therefore termed “intentionallyassembled collections” (previously called “artificial collections”)B2.2. All three types of collections tend to be organized around one or moreunifying factors, which may include: creator (e.g., personal author, composer, arranger, etc.) issuing body genre/form subject language or nationality provenance time period162 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


APPENDIX B. COLLECTION‐LEVEL RECORDSB2.3. Types of materials appropriate to consider for collection‐level treatmentinclude: groups of materials that share one or more of the above factors, or someother unifying factor, <strong>and</strong> for which access can adequately be provided witha single classification number <strong>and</strong>/or a collective set of access points groups of pamphlets or ephemera in various formats that are judged not tomerit item‐level cataloging, but that collectively are of research valueB3. Arrangement <strong>and</strong> descriptionB3.1. Arrangement <strong>and</strong> description are terms used to describe various types ofprocessing activities that bring order <strong>and</strong> control to collections of materials. Theycommonly involve the physical h<strong>and</strong>ling, sorting, <strong>and</strong> listing of materials, as wellas preservation <strong>and</strong> housing activities. Additional guidance in these matters maybe found in Kathleen Roeʹs Arranging <strong>and</strong> Describing Archives <strong>and</strong> <strong>Manuscripts</strong>.B3.2. Arrangement. Arrangement is the process of sorting individual items intomeaningful groups <strong>and</strong> placing those groups into useful relationships with eachother. Materials can be arranged in many logical ways, <strong>and</strong> the design of thearrangement should be determined by examining the material to consider thetypes of access most likely to serve the needs of researchers <strong>and</strong> other potentialusers. Different collections will require differing levels <strong>and</strong> methods ofarrangement. For these reasons, decisions about arrangement must be madeindividually for each collection.B3.2.1. Organized prior to acquisition. For collections that come to the libraryalready well organized, every effort should be made to maintain this order.Maintaining the original order of a collection can reveal significant informationabout the previous owner’s use of the materials <strong>and</strong> is, for this reason, a basictenet of archival practice.B3.2.2. Organized by the library. Collections that come to the library lacking anyrecognizable order must be examined, sorted, <strong>and</strong> arranged in some fashionprior to cataloging. Collections consisting of many items are normally dividedinto hierarchical subgroupings. Customary types of arrangement include: by source or provenance by genre/formDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 163


APPENDIX B. COLLECTION‐LEVEL RECORDS by content or topic in chronological order in alphabetical order (by author, title, etc.)B3.2.3. Acquired individually. Materials originally acquired as individual items(whether simultaneously or over time) may be grouped in intentionallyassembled collections, as noted above. Appropriate library staff, which mayinclude curators <strong>and</strong> catalogers, must determine which materials will be socombined, how they will be arranged, <strong>and</strong> at what level of fullness they will bedescribed (e.g., whether the material will receive contents notes <strong>and</strong>/or authortitleanalytics, whether it will be classified <strong>and</strong> shelved with music collections orboxed <strong>and</strong> treated archivally, etc.).B3.3 Description. Description is the process of recording the information thatwas gathered during the sorting <strong>and</strong> arranging stages. For large collections,finding aids typically are compiled to provide a greater level of detail. Findingaids vary widely in format, style, <strong>and</strong> complexity. They generally consist of twoparts. The first is a narrative introduction that includes: biographical sketches orhistorical contextual information; a content summary highlighting strengths,gaps, weaknesses, <strong>and</strong> characterizing the collection’s extent <strong>and</strong> depth; <strong>and</strong>information concerning the collection’s administration <strong>and</strong> use, such asrestrictions on access. The second part is a listing of the items or groups of itemsthat comprise the collection. For collections arranged hierarchically, the listingsmay stop at a collective subgroup level or may extend down to the file or itemlevel.B4. Elements of the bibliographic recordThe rules that guide the bibliographic description <strong>and</strong> added entry portions ofcollection‐level cataloging are the latest edition of AACR2, supplemented by useof appropriate national rule interpretations. Use the rules in conjunction withthese guidelines, which are arranged by MARC 21 field.

The description may bedivided in whatever way is most sensible. For example, the collection may beorganized in logical groupings, each of which can be represented in a singlerecord (e.g., pamphlets concerning tobacco consumption, pamphlets encouragingsmoking, <strong>and</strong> pamphlets discouraging smoking).

A PPENDIX C. CORE‐LEVEL RECORDSNo general use of this appendix is made for rare music materials. 2929PCC is in the process of revising the core record concept by creating a “st<strong>and</strong>ard record”.The st<strong>and</strong>ard record essentially merges the concept of “full” <strong>and</strong> “core” level into a singlest<strong>and</strong>ard. There are st<strong>and</strong>ard records being created for rare books <strong>and</strong> for “modern” musicmaterials, but there is currently no plan to create a st<strong>and</strong>ard record for rare music materials.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 175


APPENDIX D. MINIMAL‐LEVEL RECORDSD1. IntroductionThe elements of description provided in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) constitute a full set ofinformation for describing rare materials. This appendix sets out a less than fulllevel of description containing those elements recommended as a minimum foreffective description of early <strong>and</strong>/or other rare materials.Libraries most often turn to minimal‐level cataloging for rare materials inresponse to a need to create item‐level records for large backlogs of uncatalogedmaterials with the least amount of time <strong>and</strong> effort possible. These guidelines areprovided in response to such needs. Their purpose is not to promote the use of<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) minimal‐level cataloging, but rather to provide a usable st<strong>and</strong>ard forthose institutions wishing to adopt it.D2. ApplicationCatalogers may apply the minimal‐level st<strong>and</strong>ard to any rare materials describedusing <strong>DCRM</strong>(M). <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) minimal‐level records are especially appropriatewhen faithful <strong>and</strong> accurate descriptions are desirable, the provision of subject<strong>and</strong> other access points is not necessarily important, <strong>and</strong> abridged transcriptions<strong>and</strong> fewer notes are acceptable.A minimal‐level cataloging policy is best kept simple. Complex rules for omittingor shortening a variety of record elements would require catalogers to devotetime to learning these new rules, thereby eliminating a portion of the intendedgains in time <strong>and</strong> expense. In addition, tampering with the full descriptionprovided by <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) areas 0‐6 <strong>and</strong> 8 would negate the very purpose of using<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) for description of rare materials. The conclusion then is thateliminating notes accomplishes much of the purpose of minimal‐level catalogingbecause it saves considerable time while not unduly limiting access.Bibliographic records following this approach will, in most cases, still identifythe books being described <strong>and</strong> distinguish them from similar editions or issues.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 177


APPENDIX D. MINIMAL‐LEVEL RECORDSD3. Elements of the bibliographic recordD3.1. Follow the rules in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) areas 0‐6 <strong>and</strong> 8. Abridge the descriptionwherever possible as allowed by the rules. It is not necessary to make the notesusually considered required.D3.2. Optionally, add any additional elements in accordance with institutionalpolicy. In particular, consider adding one or more of the following, each of whichcan significantly enhance the value of minimal‐level <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) records foridentifying rare materials: references to published descriptions in st<strong>and</strong>ard bibliographies (rule 7B14),particularly when the source cited provides more detailed information thanthe minimal‐level bibliographic record the required notes called for in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) (a complete list of required notesmay be found in the index under ‘Required notes’) one or more local notes describing provenance, copy numbering,imperfections, binding, or any other information that will allow thebibliographic record to describe the particular copy in h<strong>and</strong> with sufficientprecision to indicate the institution’s ownership of that particular copy optional notes based on reliable dealers’ descriptions accompanying the itembeing describedD3.3. Minimal‐level cataloging policies often eliminate or simplify additionalareas of the bibliographic record such as subject headings, classification, or otheraccess points. This appendix does not address such questions, but users of<strong>DCRM</strong>(M) may also wish to streamline these areas according to local needs,taking into consideration the effect that such policies will have on special files forprinters, binders, bindings, genre/forms, provenance, <strong>and</strong> the like.178 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


APPENDIX E. VARIATIONS REQUIRING A NEW RECORDE1. Default guidelinesE1.1. This appendix addresses the issue of whether to describe bibliographicvariants using a single bibliographic record or separate records. As a defaultapproach, the rules contained in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) assume that a separate bibliographicrecord will be created for each bibliographic variant that represents what isreferred to as an “edition” in AACR2 <strong>and</strong> an “issue” in bibliographic scholarship.E1.2. Following this default approach, generally consider that a newbibliographic record is required whenever the publication distinguishes itselffrom other variants by one or more of the following characteristics: change in content (e.g., changes in the title, statement of responsibility, oredition statement that indicate corrections, revisions, expansions,abridgments, or the inclusion of supplementary materials) different setting of type (e.g., changes in the statement of extent, a change inbibliographic format, or differences in music line‐endings <strong>and</strong> catchwordsrevealed by the comparison of multiple copies) change in publication status (e.g., an original title page has been cancelled<strong>and</strong> replaced; an original publication, distribution, etc., statement has beencovered with a new label; original sheets have been issued in a newpublisher’s cover bearing more recent data than that provided on the titlepage, or with a new series title page) change in plate <strong>and</strong>/or publisher numbersE1.3. In general, do not consider differences relating solely to substantiallyunchanged impressions, states, binding variants, or copies as an indication that anew record is required. Examples of differences that do not in themselvesnecessarily signal the need for a new record in the absence of other differencesinclude: a difference in a statement of printing (e.g., fifth printing) a difference in the printer or other manufacturer if the publisher has notchanged a difference in the printing or copyright date if the publication date has notchangedDescriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 179


APPENDIX E. VARIATIONS REQUIRING A NEW RECORD a difference in the publisher’s cover that does not provide evidence of adiscrete publishing unit (e.g., a change of color in publisher’s cloth) a difference relating to inserted publisher’s advertisements <strong>and</strong> catalogs(unless they are integral to the publication) stop‐press corrections the presence or absence of an errata slip the addition, deletion, or change of an ISMNE1.4. These basic default guidelines result in a single bibliographic record beingused to represent multiple impressions, states, <strong>and</strong> binding variants relating to asingle edition or issue. This record may include, in local notes, information thatdoes not apply to all copies of the edition or issue, whether the informationapplies to an impression, a state, a binding variant or an individual item.E2. Alternative guidelinesE2.1. The default approach presented above is not prescriptive <strong>and</strong> indeed maynot be desirable in every situation. Institutions may sometimes want to createseparate records for different impressions or for other bibliographic variants.Some may want to create separate records for each individual copy.E2.2. Numerous factors will influence the decision of when to create separatebibliographic records for variants, including: the comprehensiveness of an institution’s collections the perceived needs of the users of these collections whether <strong>and</strong> how the publication has been described in a st<strong>and</strong>ardbibliography whether the publication can be compared to other copies the desire for consistency with other records in the institution’s catalog the quality of the records available for use in copy cataloging the structure of any shared database to which an institution contributes itsrecords the nature of an institution’s policies, priorities, <strong>and</strong> staffing levels180 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


APPENDIX E. VARIATIONS REQUIRING A NEW RECORDE2.3. Within the rules, alternatives are provided that allow a cataloger to createseparate records for individual impressions, states, binding variants, or copies(see rules 2B3.2, 2B4.2, 2D2, 4H). The cataloger must be consistent in applyingthese alternative rules to all areas of the description once the decision has beenmade to apply them.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 181


APPENDIX F. TITLE ACCESS POINTSF1. IntroductionTitle access plays an important role in enabling users to identify <strong>and</strong> locatespecial collections materials. While some title access will be h<strong>and</strong>led bycontrolled forms, this appendix lists specific situations, commonly encounteredby rare materials catalogers, in which the provision of uncontrolled title accesspoints is likely to be useful. Uniform titles are discussed briefly below in F3.Supplement.This appendix is not intended as an exhaustive list of all instances in whichuncontrolled title access points may be made. Use judgment in determiningwhich forms of access will be most useful for the item in h<strong>and</strong>. In general, do notinclude access points that duplicate normalized forms of existing title accesspoints (e.g., the title proper, a uniform title, etc.). Take the indexing capabilities ofthe institutionʹs local system into consideration when determining whether theadditional access points are needed.F2. Rules relevant to the provision of title access pointsThe list is presented in <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) rule number order. Title access pointsconsidered optional are labeled as such.0B1.

Copy‐specific titles (Optional)Provide additional access for copy‐specific titles, such as a binder’s title.F3. Supplement. Music name/uniform <strong>and</strong> uniform titlesWhile the title proper (or other variant title) is the best way to access a particularedition of a musical work or works, it is often less useful in finding all theeditions, arrangements, etc. of that work. Because much music is primarily nontextualin nature, musical works are often not named by a unique title, but by amusical form or genre (e.g., symphony, concerto) with perhaps a musical keydesignation, <strong>and</strong> a numberic designation (either by opus number or ordinaryserial number). This title may appear in any language, depending on thepublisher of the work, <strong>and</strong> may be different in manuscript music than in its firstpublication. To add to the confusion, numerous well‐known musical works alsohave textual “nicknames”, as in Beethoven’s Symphony no. 3, which is known asthe “Eroica”. Even with vocal music, which usually has a distinctive title (i.e., nota generic form/type), the large number of works that appear either in translationalone or with both the original text <strong>and</strong> the translation in one edition, causelanguage to become an issue. In addition, the form/genre as title (known as acomposition type) may present its elements in different order, or there may beseveral works with the same title (even by the same composer.Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 189

AACR2, chapter25.1A describes the purpose of uniform titles:Uniform titles can be used for different purposes. The provide the means: for bringing together all catalogue entries for a work when variousmanifestations (e.g., editions, translations) of it have appeared under varioustitles; for identifying a work when the title by which it is known differs from thetitle proper of the item being catalogued; for differentiating between two or more works published under identicaltitles proper; for organizing the file.Use of uniform titles is optional in AACR2, but they are used by most musiccatalogers <strong>and</strong> are generally considered necessary, except when the uniform titlewould mirror exactly the title proper. The use of uniform titles with <strong>DCRM</strong>(M) isstrongly encouraged.Fully established name/uniform title authority records (i.e., the composer’s namelinked with the title), are available from the Library of Congress name authorityfile.

Letters i/j <strong>and</strong> u/vG4.1. Historical background. Some knowledge of the history of printing as itapplies to the letters i/j <strong>and</strong> u/v is helpful when applying the provisions of 0G2.2.Until the early seventeenth century, the st<strong>and</strong>ard Latin alphabet contained 23letters. The letters we know as i <strong>and</strong> j were considered different minusculeshapes (or graphs) of the same letter, as were the letters u <strong>and</strong> v. The letter w wasnot part of the st<strong>and</strong>ard Latin alphabet. A printer’s choice for the u graph inpreference to the v graph (or the i to the j) depended on its placement in a word<strong>and</strong> was governed by convention. Conventions varied somewhat from printer toprinter, but often reflected national <strong>and</strong> regional preferences. While there werevariant graphs for lowercase letters, in the pre‐modern distribution there wasonly one graph for each of these letters used as capitals: I (with the gothic formresembling a modern J), <strong>and</strong> V (with the gothic form resembling a modern U).For example, = Iacob; = Vnspotted (capitalized as the first wordof a title).The dominant patterns in use before the seventeenth century were: i used in the initial, medial, <strong>and</strong> final position, without signifying vocalic orconsonantal use; e.g., iustice (modern form: justice) j used in the medial or final position only after a preceding i (more typical onthe European continent), signifying vocalic use; e.g., commentarij (modernform: commentarii) u used in the initial, medial or final position, without signifying vocalic orconsonantal use; e.g., oeuures (modern form: oeuvres) v used in the initial position, without signifying vocalic or consonantal use;e.g., vtilita (modern form: utilita) I used in all positions, without signifying vocalic or consonantal use; e.g.,Iuan (modern form: Juan)196 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft


APPENDIX G. EARLY LETTER FORMS AND SYMBOLS V used in all positions, without signifying vocalic or consonantal use; e.g.,Vrsprung (modern form: Ursprung)A gradual shift took place over time, from the late fifteenth century through themiddle of the seventeenth century, with U/u coming to phonetically signify avowel <strong>and</strong> V/v to signify a consonant, regardless of case or position in the word.Likewise with i <strong>and</strong> j, although the shift was more irregular, with I/i coming tophonetically signify a vowel <strong>and</strong> J/j a consonant. In the modern 26‐letter Latinalphabet, i <strong>and</strong> j <strong>and</strong> u <strong>and</strong> v are all considered separate letters.G4.2. Transcription. As instructed in rule 0G2.2, when the rules for capitalizationrequire converting i/j or u/v to uppercase or lowercase, 31 the music cataloger is touse the following conversion table. 32Uppercase letter to be convertedI (vowel or consonant) anywhere in word 33II at end of wordII elsewhere in wordV (vowel or consonant) at beginning of wordV (vowel or consonant) elsewhere in wordVV representing single letter 34Lowercase conversioniijiivuvvLowercase letter to be convertedUppercase conversion31An uppercase J or U in the source signals a modern distribution, in which i <strong>and</strong> j arefunctioning as separate letters, as are u <strong>and</strong> v, requiring no special consideration whileconverting case.32This table is presented as the “solution of last resort” in <strong>DCRM</strong>(B) <strong>and</strong> <strong>DCRM</strong>(S). Becausemusic often has little text <strong>and</strong> existing text is often in a variety of typefaces (including decorativeones), there is rarely sufficient text to establish patterns of usage. Therefore, it is presented here asthe primary guidline for transcription.33Do not convert a final uppercase I meant to represent an ii ending (see 0G2.3).34This must be distinguished from VV or vv as a combination of a vowel <strong>and</strong> a consonant asin the examples VVLT or vvlt (vult, “he wants”) <strong>and</strong> VVA or vva (uva, “grape”).Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft 197

EARLY LETTER FORMS AND SYMBOLSi (vowel or consonant) anywhere in wordj (vowel or consonant) anywhere in wordu (vowel or consonant) anywhere in wordv (vowel or consonant) anywhere in wordvv representing single letter 34IIVVVVG5. Letter wG5.1. Historical background. The representation of the letter w is not to beconfused with the developments of the u/v graphs. The w graph was part of thest<strong>and</strong>ard alphabet for Germanic languages. Most early printing was in Latin,shifting gradually to include a greater proportion of vernacular languagesthroughout Europe. W <strong>and</strong> w must have been scanty in cases of roman type, <strong>and</strong>they appear to have been frequently exhausted when setting text in Dutch,English, or German. When that happened, compositors usually did one of twothings: used VV or vv to st<strong>and</strong> in for W or w, or permanently altered V or v typepieces – achieved by filing or shaving one of the serifs, often the right serif on theleft piece – so that the two type pieces would sit closely together in the forme,thereby more closely resembling a w. In early German texts, printers sometimesused a curved r followed by a v to approximate a w.G5.2. Transcription. When VV <strong>and</strong> vv graphs have been used to represent thesingle letter W or w, transcribe them as VV or vv as appropriate. When there isclear evidence of the filing of one or both pieces of type showing the intention ofcreating the W or w graph, transcribe as W or w, making an explanatory note, ifconsidered important. In cases of doubt, transcribe as VV <strong>and</strong> vv. When separaterv graphs have been used by the printer to approximate the single letter W or w,transcribe as W or w, making an explanatory note, if considered important (see0G7.2).Forms of WSource Transcription Example Transcription ofexampleNotesvvwvvholewhole198 Descriptive Cataloging of <strong>Rare</strong> Materials (Music) Version 5A Draft

GLOSSARYThis glossary is comprised of terms pertinent to the music <strong>and</strong> musical formsfound in this manual. It also includes terms related to the cataloging <strong>and</strong>description of rare materials. With the exception of the music terms here takenfrom the glossary in AACR2, Appendix D, it does not repeat other terminologyfound there. In this way, it can be considered a supplement to the AACR2glossary. Moreover, the terms included here from AACR2 may have requiredsome amendment to accommodate the description of rare <strong>and</strong> special musicmaterials. Wherever AACR2 terms were insufficient to cover the terminologyneeded for this manual, definitions from other resources were used, either in anexact restatement, or slightly adapted, as needed. The sources used in compilingthis glossary are included in the “List of Works Cited”; they are identified at theend of each definition with an abbreviated citation, in parentheses.Adaptation (Music).
