Definition |
|
| REC, SCO, 006 |
Two-character alphabetic codes that identify the form of musical composition. Enter the specific multiple MARC Form of Musical Composition Codes. The form of composition code is based on the terminology in the work itself and provides a coded approach to the content of the work. In addition to codes for forms, the list also includes codes for musical genres (e.g., Ragtime music). The codes are based on subject access points, genre/form terms, titles, preferred titles, or contents. You may also use field 380 to record form of musical composition information in textual form. |
|
Guidelines |
Assign codes when they apply to the item as a whole (e.g., if the item is a symphony and one of the movements is in sonata form, only the code for symphonies is recorded). If more than one MARC Composition Code is appropriate, use the code mu, with appropriate specific MARC Composition Codes given in field 047. Also use code mu when non-MARC codes are contained in field 047 and there is no appropriate specific MARC Composition Code to assign in Comp. When appropriate, you may assign a specific MARC Composition Code in Comp and a non-MARC code or codes in field 047. Non-musical sound recordings do not have a form of composition and are coded nn. |
