Citing a recording you watched on the Web:
Libretto:
[Librarian Steve's advice: If you are citing the lyrics, and you got the lyrics from the recording i.e. by listening to it , cite the recording.]
If, however, you read the lyrics in the liner notes, your citation might look like this (again, Rule 5.7.2]
Score, in this case, an opera:
Musical Score you found on the web looks a lot like a performance:
Three examples of how to cite a song that was on a CD [Rule 5.7.2]
Four examples of how to cite an album. First a classical album, them a film score recording, then a classical one, then a cast recording of a musical [Rule 5.7.2]
Cite a Musical Score: According to CMS Rule 17.263, you do so much like a book.
Example for a Bibliography:
Cite Media: Rules 17.265-268.
