COMR Metadata Creation Guide
PAGE CONTENTS 49 minute read.
Introduction
These guidelines supplement the current UNT Libraries’ standards for creating metadata, focusing specifically on items that belong to the College of Music Recordings collection. For items that do not belong in this collection, please see the full UNT Libraries Metadata Input Guidelines.
COMR Metadata Input Guidelines:
Note: all fields are required unless otherwise noted
Information for College of Music Recordings may be found on:
- the recital program
- top of the CD
- back cover of the CD case
If there is a situation not covered on this page, use the links at the bottom of the field guidelines to find additional information
Title
General Information
- All items must have a “Main Title” and at least one series title; some items may have additional titles
- Always choose the appropriate title qualifier (main, series, added) from the controlled vocabulary
Main Titles
Guideline 1
Main titles have three separate elements in the form Type: Date - Name, Instrument
- Type of recital, e.g., Doctoral (Lecture) Recital, Ensemble, Faculty Recital, Guest Recital
- Date of recital in the form YYYY-MM-DD
- Name of primary performer(s) and instrument or performing group(s)
Capitalize the type of recital and proper names (do not capitalize the instrument name)
Include all initial articles (a, an, the, der, etc.) in group names
Examples
- Doctoral Recital: 2006-03-06 - Brad Bennight, harpsichord
- Ensemble: 2007-02-08 - UNT Wind Symphony
- Faculty Recital: 2006-11-08 - Eric M. Nestler, alto saxophone
- Ensemble: 2007-04-12 - A Night of Percussion
Guideline 2
- If there are multiple performers and/or performing groups listed, include each person or group with “and”
- If there are multiple degree-seeing performances in a single recording, use an added title (see below)
Examples
- Faculty Recital: 2007-01-26 - Linda Di Fiore, mezzo-soprano and Heejung Kang, piano
Series Titles
Guideline 1
- Add the appropriate series title for the type of recital from the list at right (copy it exactly)
- If the recital includes multiple groups, include separate series titles (e.g., Faculty Recitals and Guest Artist Recitals) rather than creating a concatenated version
- If none of these titles is appropriate for the item, create a new title that matches the format of the others and contact the metadata administrators
Examples
- Doctoral Recitals
- Ensemble Concerts
- Faculty Recitals
- Guest Artist Recitals
- Master’s Recitals
- Senior Recitals
Added Titles
Guideline 1
If the recital has a title (printed on the program/information), include it in the record as an added title
Guideline 2
For Doctoral Lecture Recitals, include the lecture title as an added title
- Use the lecture title written on the program or CD
- Precede the title with “Lecture Recital:”
- Capitalize the first word of the title and all other words except prepositions and articles
- Separate main titles and subtitles with ‘space dash space’
Example 2
- Lecture Recital: Marcel Mihalovici - A Critical Evaluation of His Solo and Chamber Works for Clarinet
- Lecture Recital: Di/con[ver(gence/sions)] for Saxophone Quartet by David Dzubay - A Performance Analysis
- Lecture Recital: An Analytical Study of Mily Alekseyevich Balakirev’s Musical Style in His Early Piano and Orchestra Works - “Grande Fantaisie on Russian Folk Songs” and “The First Piano Concerto Op. 1 in F-sharp Minor”
Guideline 3
If there are multiple degree-seeking performances in a single recording:
- Use the performer seeking the higher degree as the main title
- Include the secondary performer in an added title
Examples
- Main: Doctoral Recital: 2006-02-03 - John Norine, Jr., conductor
- Added: Master Recital: 2006-02-03 - Amy Wilson, conductor
Other Special Cases
Recital Series
If the recital is part of a series of related performances:

- Include the title of the specific performance as an added title
Examples

- A couple of specific things to keep in mind:
- The record should always accurately describe the specific item
- Information should be as clear as possible for users
- Depending on the specific instance, some information may need to be omitted, added, or changed from the examples above in the interest of clarity and accuracy
- Here are some specific situations and possible adjustments/considerations:
Exception | Changes | Example |
---|---|---|
A recording has multiple versions | If there are two extremely similar recordings (e.g., one from the
perspective of the orchestra and one from the audience)

an edited version or a recording that cut out part-way through)
|
Ensemble: 2012-10-03 - UNT Concert Orchestra [edited] Concert Orchestra concert performed at the UNT College of Music Winspear Hall.

intermission material, etc. -- all information in the record should be
adjusted based on the content:
|
