In a library catalog, uniform titles function to bring together,
under one unique heading, all variant manifestations of a musical
work. They help to collocate various forms of music, such as
printed music, sound recordings, arrangements, and translations,
and aid in distinguishing between different musical works with
similar or identical titles. Establishing music uniform titles may
be the most complex and difficult aspect of music cataloging, even
for the cataloger with a strong background in music. Uniform Titles
for Music explains the concept and practice of uniform titles for
musical works by a single composer and works of unknown or
collective authorship, and it provides a step-by-step approach to
establishing uniform titles. Michelle Koth explains the concept of
a "type of composition," the process by which a title is determined
to be generic or distinctive, and what further elements may be
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. The chapters closely follow the structure of
Anglo American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. (AACR2), Chapter 25, with
some re-ordering to allow the reader to progress from generic
uniform titles to distinctive titles. 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 all levels of music cataloger, from the fresh out
of library school beginner to the experienced cataloger who wants a
refresher.
