21.29D.

Sound Recordings:

Make added entries for all performers named on a sound recording (persons or corporate bodies) with the following exceptions:

1.   Do not make an added entry for a person who functions entirely or primarily on the item being cataloged as a member of a corporate body represented by a main or added entry.  Do not consider a conductor or accompanist to be a member of the body he or she conducts or accompanies.  If a person’s name appears in conjunction with the name of a group, apply LCRI 24.1A to determine whether the corporate name includes this personal name.  If the conclusion is that the corporate name does not include the person’s name, do not consider the person a member of the group; if the conclusion is that it does include the person’s name, consider the person to be a member of the group.

2.   If both the chorus and orchestra of an opera company, opera house etc., participate in a performance and both are named, along with the name of the parent body, make only a single added entry under the heading for the parent body.

Added entry under the heading for the theater

3.   When a featured performer is accompanied by an unnamed group that, if it had a name, would be given an added entry as a corporate body, do not make added entries for the individual members of the group.  Do not, however, apply this exception to jazz ensembles, even if one or more of the performers is given greater prominence than the others, i.e., normally make added entries for all the individual performers (except any who are covered by exceptions 4. and 5. below in such cases.)

4.   Do not make an added entry for a performer who participates in only a small number of the works in a collection or for a performer whose role is minor (e.g., an announcer on a radio program).

5.   Do not make an added entry for a performer who receives main entry heading as principal performer under 21.23C1.

6.   If there are many performers performing the same function (e.g., singers in an opera, actors in a drama), make added entries only for those who are given the greatest prominence in the chief source of information.  If all are given equal prominence, make added entries only for those who are given prominence over the others in other places on the sound recording (e.g., the container, the program booklet) or, if that criterion does not apply, for those performing the most important functions (e.g., singing the principal roles, acting the principal parts).

chief source (labels):

container:

Added entries under the headings for Sutherland, Pavarotti, Bonynge, the chorus, and the orchestra

If a performer for whom an added entry would be made according to the guidelines above is also the composer of one or more works on the recording, make an added entry to represent the performing function in addition to any name/title access points (main entry or analytical added entries) made for his or her works.

Audiovisual Materials:

In making added entries for audiovisual materials, follow the general rules in 21.29 and apply, in addition to those in 21.30, the following guidelines:

1.   Make added entries for all openly named persons or corporate bodies who have contributed to the creation of the item, with the following exceptions:

a.   Do not make added entries for persons (producers, directors, writers, etc.) if there is a production company, unit, etc., for which an added entry is made, unless their contributions are significant, e.g., the animator of an animated film, the producer/director of a student film, the director of a theatrical film, the film maker or developer of a graphic item attributed as author on the data sheet and/or prominently named on the accompanying material ("a film by").

In the absence of a production company, unit, etc., make added entries for those persons who are listed as producers, directors, and writers.  Make additional added entries for other persons only if their contributions are significant.

b.   If a person, filmmaker, developer of a graphic item, etc., is the main entry heading, do not make added entries for other persons who have contributed to the production, unless the production is known to be the joint responsibility or collaboration of the persons or the contributions are significant.

2.   Make added entry headings for all corporate bodies named in the publication, distribution, etc., area.

3.   Make added entries for all featured players, performers, and narrators with the following exceptions:

a.   If, for a motion picture or videorecording, the main entry is under the heading for a performing group (in accordance with 21.1B2e.), do not make added entries under the headings for persons performing as members of that group.  If a person’s name, however, appears in conjunction with and preceding or following the name of the group, do not consider him or her to be a member of the group.

b.   If there are many players (actors, actresses, etc.), make added entries under the headings for those that are given prominence in the chief source of information.  If that cannot be used as a criterion, make added entries under the headings for each if there are no more than three.

4.   Similarly, make added entries under the headings for persons in a production who are interviewers or interviewees, delivering lectures addresses, etc., or discussing their lives, ideas, work, etc., and who are not chosen as the main entry heading.
