HIERARCHY OVERVIEW
 
BEST PRACTICES
The 382 portion of the DCM Z1 has been recently updated.
MLA is developing some provisional best practices for using LCMPT that will be
out shortly.
Additions or changes to LCMPT should be submitted through the SACO Music
Funnel.
A FEW EXAMPLES
Medium of performance: alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone:
382 01 $a alto saxophone $n 1 $a tenor saxophone $n 1 $a baritone saxophone $n
1 $s 3 $2 lcmpt
Medium of performance: alto voice and piano:
382 01 $a alto voice $n 1 $a piano $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt
Medium of performance: flute choir (piccolo, 4 flutes, alto flute, and bass flute):
382 01 $a flute choir $2 lcmpt
AND/OR:
382 01 $a piccolo $n 1 $a flute $n 4 $a alto flute $n 1 $a bass flute $n 1 $s 7 $2
lcmpt

NEXT STEPS
 
IMPLEMENTATION
You can use LCMPT right now!
At this time, continue to use LCSH music terms in 650s.
Consider adding LCMPT terms in 382s in addition to LCSH:
382 01 $a mixed chorus $a continuo $2 lcmpt
AND
650 #0 $a Masses $v Scores.
382 01 $a marimba $n 1 $a clarinet $n 1 $s 2 $2 lcmpt
AND
650 #0 Clarinet and marimba music.
Music LCGFT terms out in the next year or so.
Look for a genre/form and medium of performance preconference at MLA 2015.
Tell your systems people!
RETROSPECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION???
Once Music LCGFT terms are complete, catalogers may begin using genre/form
and medium of performance terms in bibliographic records.
Looking into options for converting subject headings in legacy records to
genre/form and medium of performance terms.
New task force?

Genre and form in works help categorize them based on similarities in plot, theme, setting, or characters, while closely related concepts include characteristics of the audience and creator, place and time of creation, and the language of composition. LCMPT and LCDGT are used for detailing the medium of performance and intended audience and creators respectively.
