The RDA Music Implementation Task Force was formed in September 2011. Its charge comprises several tasks, three of which are fulfilled in the present document:

1. Create music-related best practices documentation to supplement Resource Description and Access (RDA).

2. Make recommendations regarding the relationship between the MLA music-related best practices document and other official RDA policies such as the Library of Congress/Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements (LC-PCC PS) and other decisions disseminated by PCC.

3. Create complete examples for scores, audio recordings, musical works, and musical expressions.

Note: for versions later than 1.1, the content in this document is maintained within the RDA Toolkit, and no longer as a stand-alone document. A supplemental document containing full record examples and other content is maintained as a text document, updated regularly, and is available here.
