Music in Libraries: Just the Basics – October 8, 2009 Music Reference Workshop, Sha Towers & Mary Du Mont Brower Print Formats General terms Sometimes people will use the terms “sheet music” and “score” generically to mean printed music. These terms can also be used in a more technical sense as described below. Full score A score in which all the parts for voices and instruments are included. Each part has its own line of music and all the lines are in vertical alignment, so that the parts may be read simultaneously. This would be the version of the printed music used by a conductor. Miniature or study score A full score, but usually smaller in size or print, intended for study, not for use in performance. Part The music notation for just one instrument or voice. Search keyword “part” or “parts.” Score and Parts The complete set of individual parts for every instrument/voice in a given musical work plus the full score. Choral score Voice parts on top. If the music includes instrumental accompaniment, a keyboard part (piano or organ usually) will appear directly below the voice parts in vertical alignment. Used for oratorios, cantatas, choral anthems, etc. Piano-vocal score / vocal score Vocal line on top, with piano part directly below in vertical alignment. Piano part is an arrangement or reduction of the original orchestral/instrumental parts. Frequently used by singers to learn or rehearse songs from operas and musicals. Search keyword “vocal score.” Sheet Music Vocal line on top, with piano part underneath. Often includes chord symbols above the vocal line for guitar, ukulele, etc. Fake Book A type of musical shorthand that includes the melody line with chords symbols. May contain complete or partial lyrics. Often only includes one stanza and refrain/chorus. Often used by jazz and popular music performers.

    Praise for Blu-ray Disc Demystified “BD Demystified is an essential reference for designers and developers building with- in Blu-ray’s unique framework and provides them with the knowledge to deliver a compelling user experience with seamlessly integrated multimedia.” — Lee Evans, Ambient Digital Media, Inc., Marina del Rey, CA “Jim’s Demystified books are the definitive resource for anyone wishing to learn about optical media technologies.” — Bram Wessel, CTO and Co-Founder, Metabeam Corporation “As he did with such clarity for DVD, Jim Taylor (along with his team of experts) again lights the way for both professionals and consumers, pointing out the sights, warning us of the obstacles and giving us the lay of the land on our journey to a new high-definition disc format.” — Van Ling, Blu-ray/DVD Producer, Los Angeles, CA “Blu-ray Disc Demystified is an excellent reference for those at all levels of BD pro- duction. Everyone from novices to veterans will find useful information contained within. The authors have done a great job making difficult subjects like AACS encryption, BD-Java, and authoring for Blu-ray easy to understand.” — Jess Bowers, Director, Technical Services, 1K Studios, Burbank, CA “Like its red-laser predecessor, Blu-ray Disc Demystified will immediately take its rightful place as the definitive reference book on producing BD.

PUBLIC OUALIFICATIONS My name is Ron Wilcox, and I am the Executive Vice President and Chief Business and Legal Affairs Officer of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTATNMENT. Zn that position, I oversee all of SONY BMG's Business and Legal Affairs activities, including negotiating deals with artists, music publishers, and digital music services and formulation of policies concerning new technologies and other matters. I have worked in the music business for almost 25 years. Prior to Sony's merger with BMG, I was Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and New Technology at Sony Music Entertainment. Between 1990 and 2000, I was Senior Vice President, Business Affairs & Administration at Sony Music. From 1983 to 1990, I worked in Business Affairs for CBS Records.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Record companies like SONY BMG are the driving force of the music industry. It is record companies that turn the notes and lyrics of songs - or often just an idea for a song - into a high-quality commercial product, connect it with an audience, and distribute it through every practicable means. The creative contribution and investment made by record companies are what makes it possible for songwriters and publishers to make money from songs.

  • Devo - Live 1980 Dualdisc Review
    Devo - Live 1980 DualDisc Review artist: DEVO album: Live 1980 format: DualDisc label: Music Video Distributors release year: 2005 performance: 7 sound: 3 reviewed by: Bryan Dailey Looking back 25 years later at DEVO, what sticks in my mind the most isn’t the red spud energy hats or the legless white uniform space suits. It is the numbers of bands who have since driven down the alternative rock road that DEVO paved. Like Frank Zappa before them, DEVO took “weird” rock and turned it into something people would actually listen to on the radio. From legendary alt rockers like Oingo Boingo and the B-52’s to modern-day punkers like Green Day and The Offspring, these groups all owe a little thanks to DEVO for having the guts to make quirky pop music and not be apologetic about it. The closest thing to a direct modern copy of DEVO comes by way of the Aquabats, a group of zany ska rockers who dress up as superheroes and turn their live show into a live action comic book. They had their 15 minutes of fame with the minor hit “Superrad,” but while watching this DEVO disc, I can’t help but think back to seeing the Aquabats live. There was no MTV yet at the time of this recording. To see bands perform live, you’d have to stay up late and catch them on shows like “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” or “Saturday Night Live.” Now that there are so many non- music-related TV shows on MTV and MTV2, you rarely ever get to see to see any live concert performances, let alone an entire show start to finish.
