What information does a reference record contain?

There are three different reference works for which there are reference records: Glossary, Opera Synopses and Music Fundamental Terms.
Note: Pronunciation Guides do not have a reference record as the audio files are accessed directly from the Reference Search Results page or the Browse Reference page.

Glossary reference records contain the following information (where available):

• Headword - this is the glossary term e.g. Mandolin
• Definition of the term
• Reference work

Opera Synopses reference records contain the following information (where available):

• Headword - this is the opera title e.g. Faust
• Details of the composer, date written, librettist, first performance, etc.
• Character list
• Plot summary and history of ther opera
• Reference work

Music Fundamental Terms reference records contain the following information (where available):

• Headword - this is the subject term e.g. Pitch
• Definition of the term
• Subject type
• Related terms - a list of links to other Music Fundamental Terms records which relate to the original term
• Reference work

All reference records are from reference works published by Naxos and display the Naxos Music Library logo:
