[DCRM-L] Relationship designator question

[Deborah J. Leslie]

We do have the note in the record of course, that it is without the music. I rather like the idea of making a related work access point for the work with the music, since Arne is the author for it.

If Arne were not the main entry, though, that solution wouldn't work for the general principle.

Since Arne doesn’t actually have a direct relationship to the work represented in this manifestation (the text alone), I’d do a related work access point (possible in RDA):

700 1      $i Libretto for (work): $a Arne, Thomas Augustine, $d 1710-1778. $t Sheep-shearing.

meaning the resource we are describing is the libretto for the musical work Sheep-shearing by Arne. The relationship designator comes from RDA Appendix K.

If just part of the play is the songs set by Arne, it might be better to use the designator “Musical setting (work)”:

700 1      $i Musical setting (work): $a Arne, Thomas Augustine, $d 1710-1778. $t Sheep-shearing.

Either way we’re linking the text to the separate musical work.

I have encountered many similar items in recent years (mostly 18th cent. French plays, but still). I have not used relationship designators for the composer, but rather a note and added author/title entry. E.g.,

500 Without the music.
OR
500 Libretto only; without the music.

700 Composer name. $t Title. $s Libretto.

I'd be happy to find out what others are doing.

Item in hand:

24514The sheep-shearing, or, Florizel and Perdita : ǂb a pastoral comedy / ǂc taken from Shakespear ; as it is acted at the Theatre-Royal in Smock-Alley ; the songs set by Mr. Arne.
This edition, however, does NOT have the music. Since Arne is mentioned on the title page, I'd like to give him as an access point, but in such a way that warns people that there is nothing of Arne's contribution in this particular edition.

Do we need a relationship designator that fulfills the general role of "associated name" for a creator? The way "associated name" is scoped, it's appropriate only for provenance. Then there's attributed name, but that's for uncertain or former attributions, neither of which pertain here. It's not exactly a false attribution because Arne did write the music; it's just that the music isn't included here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Deborah
