Since there are only two poems, why use a collective title for them? Why
not give access points for each of them, if their titles are known? The
access point Poems. Selections. English is quite misleading, since it
gives no indication of how many selections will be found in the resource.

Hi Si?n,
Here are my thoughts, for what they're worth!
Yes, I think it is useful to record the relationship between Neruda's work and
Daughtrey's concerto. This is recorded as a relationship to a related work
(25.1) and it could be recorded as an unstructured description in the 500
rather than in 500 and 700 (see the 2nd example in the final box of examples at
25.1.1.3).
As you point out, the text of the poems does not form part of the work, so the
relationship designator "musical setting of (work)" is not appropriate. Using
an unstructured description to record the relationship eliminates the need for a
relationship designator. You could record a whole-part relationship as a 700 to record
the fact that the poems are contained in the resource, using a relationship designator
from J.3.4:
100 1 ?a Daughtrey, Nathan ?e composer.
240 10 ?a Concertos, ?m vibraphone, percussion ensemble
245 10 ?a Concerto for vibraphone & percussion ensemble / ?c Nathan Daughtrey.
500 ?a "The two-movement work draws inspiration from two opposing poems by
Pablo Neruda that depict night and day"--Program notes.
700 12 ?i Contains (expression): ?a Neruda, Pablo, ?d 1904-1973. ?t Poems. ?k
Selections. ?l English.
I apologise in advance if my thoughts are incorrect - I'm happy to be corrected!
Best wishes,

Subject: [RDA-L] Relationship designators for related expressions, works etc
for a music score
Hi everyone,
Hoping I could get some advice on a music score I am currently cataloguing in
RDA.
My score is a concerto for Vibraphone and Percussion ensemble. The program
notes written in the score include two poems by Pablo Neruda (written in
English) and the statement ?The two-movement work draws inspiration from two
opposing poems by Pablo Neruda that depict night and day?. The poems do not
form any part of the actual music of the score (so would not be performed as
they are neither narrated or sung). Whilst they will not be part of any
performance of the score I want to make reference to Neruda as the poems were
considered significant enough inspiration to the composer that their text was
printed in the program notes. My questions are
1. Am I correct in my assumption that Neruda?s work/inspiration should be
recorded in the record as a related expression?
2. Is a name title 700 entry (see below) the best way to do this?
3. Is the relationship designator I have used from Appendix J (J 2.2) of
the toolkit the appropriate one given that the text does not form part of the
actual work? (i.e. it?s not a libretto) - ?i musical setting of (work). If not
what is the alternative?
100 1 ?a Daughtrey, Nathan ?e composer.
240 1 0 ?a Concertos, ?m vibraphone, percussion ensemble
245 1 0 ?a Concerto for vibraphone & percussion ensemble / ?c Nathan Daughtrey.
500 ?a "The two-movement work draws inspiration from two opposing poems by
Pablo Neruda that depict night and day." -- Program notes.
700 1 2 ?i musical setting of (work) ?a Neruda, Pablo, ?d 1904-1973. ?t Poems.
?k Selections. ?l English.
Apologies in advance if my questions are a bit too basic for the forum but I am
fairly new to cataloguing. Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
Kind regards
Si?n
