HOW TO REFERENCE MUSIC SCORES

 

In-text citation

 

Provide the surname/s of the composer/s then the year in brackets.

 

Examples

An example of this technique is provided in Grimalda (2005).

Several compositions use this technique, including Symphony no. 2  (Grimalda 2005).

 

Reference

 

Write the surname/s and initials of the composer/s then the year in brackets followed by the complete title in italics then a full stop. Write ‘ed. by’ or ‘arranged by’ and give the surname and initials of the editor or arranger if appropriate. Finally, give the place of publication followed by a colon then the publisher.
