Composers’ Complete Works Now in MadCat

Over the past year, we’ve been working to greatly enhance MadCat access to our composers’ complete works—scores with call numbers beginning M3. Previously, MadCat contained only one catalog record for an entire set of a complete works. Now each volume has its own catalog record, which includes complete contents notes, opus numbers, individual song titles, and other relevant stuff.

What does this mean? Say you want to look at the critical edition of Debussy’s Isle Joyeuse as published in Debussy’s complete works. A keyword search for debussy isle joyeuse will now include the correct volume of the complete works in the search results: M3 D35 1985 Ser.1 v.3. Before our project, you had to look in Grove’s works lists or another resource to figure out which volume to check—or else browse through all the volumes on the shelf!

More than half of the collection is completed and many major composers’ complete works are now fully represented in MadCat including:

The entire complete works collection will be fully cataloged by June 2010.
