MLA BP for 19.2.1.1
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS ON RECORDING CREATORS--SCOPE
In general, do not consider the performance of musical works in a compilation to be covered by the conditions in paragraph 3.
Persons and families who are performers may only be considered creators if they composed the work they perform or if, according to paragraph 4, they are responsible for modifying a previously existing work in a way that substantially changes the nature or content of the original and results in a new work. The mere fact that a performer is prominently named in a resource is not sufficient justification for determining this fact. For corporate bodies that are performers, see 19.2.1.1.1.
MLA BP for 19.2.1.1.1
CORPORATE BODIES CONSIDERED TO BE CREATORS
A corporate body that is a performer must fulfill the criteria of condition e) in order to be considered a creator. Consider that a performing group meets these criteria when:
1.
the group performs a work entirely by means of improvisation
or
2.
it has been determined that a work has been composed or adapted (see 19.2.1) by the group (e.g., when an original work is credited to the group on the resource).
The mere fact that a performing group is prominently named in a resource is not sufficient justification for determining this fact.
Use the following decision tree to determine the form of the authorized access point for the work (whether a single work or an album compilation):
Is a performing group involved?
If so, can it be considered a creator per category e?
If the answer is yes...
apply 6.27.1.2 or 6.28.1.5.2 and record the group as the preferred name portion of the authorized access point representing the work, coded in the 110 field (with the preferred title in the 240 or 245 field) or in the 710 field.
If the answer is no…
Are there performers that are persons or families involved? If so, is the work an adaptation that falls into 6.28.1.5.1, category d?
If the answer is yes...
consider the person or family a creator per 19.2.1.1, 4th paragraph, apply 6.28.1.5.2 and record the person or family as the preferred name portion of the authorized access point representing the work, coded in the 100 field (with the preferred title of the work in the 240 or 245 field) or in the 700 field
If the answer is no...
the work has not been adapted. If the work is a compilation, apply 6.27.1.4 and identify the compilation by title. If the work is not a compilation, use the authorized access point of the original work to identify it.
