How to search for a title

Titles are entered in Musica as they appear on the score. Thus a given title may appear in different ways depending on the score. Always input your search criterion from the beginning of the title. If the title begins with an article (A, An, The), you should try searching both with and without the article, to be sure of finding all entries.

Right truncation applies: 'Le chant des O' will select both 'Le Chant des Oyseaux' and 'Le Chant des Oiseaux', yielding the title in both old and modern French.

If you are not sure of a title, use instead the Keyword field entering only the words that you are sure of.

How to use the 'Words of title or Keywords' field

This search box allows you to search simultaneously in all the following fields:
titles, subtitles, keywords, genre, style, form, country of composer, opus or catalog number, country of origin of the piece, liturgical use, character of the piece.
Each criterion can have one or several words (the condition AND applies between words of a given criterion).

Example: Requiem (along with "Brahms" in the "Composer" field, will yield his German Requiem or his Ein Deutsches Requiem
Examples of complex criteria: "New York", "Song of Solomon", "Virgin Mary", "Psalm 91"... (quotes are not needed in the search box)
Rules for opus numbers: op.nn,x ; KV 254 ; BWV 140)
