Citing Music

Memorial University uses Chicago Style for music (17th ed.) and MLA for music (7th ed.) for citing music. APA for music Style (6th ed.) is common for citing in music education.

Wingell addresses many of these issues in his books, available in the library, and he uses Chicago Style, too:
