Hi all,
What are people using for the author of the book for a musical? The RDA
designator "librettist" seems to be for the sung words in a dramatic musical
work, rather than the spoken text. I guess perhaps the correct term would
be "author"? Or would people just use "librettist" for both the words to
the songs in a musical as well as the words spoken that aren't sung? Or
perhaps use "lyricist" for the author of the words to the songs and
"librettist" for the author of the spoken words?
Thanks,
