Title: Uniform titles for music
First published: 2008
Description: "Uniform Titles for Music explains the concept of uniform titles for musical works by a single composer and works of unknown or collective authorship and provides a step-by-step approach for establishing uniform titles. Michelle Koth explains the concept of "type of composition," the process by which a title is determined to be generic or distinctive, and what further elements are needed to uniquely identify a work represented by a uniform title. Several chapters are devoted to defining and explaining these further elements, such as medium of performance, identifying numbers, and key. Three appendixes provide a list of composers' thematic index numbers, a comparison of uniform titles for music and Library of Congress subject headings, and a bibliography of resources for authority work. Uniform Titles for Music is aimed at beginning and experienced catalogers."--Jacket.
