Signature
Kemal Amin "Casey" Kasem (April 27, 1932 – June 15, 2014) was an American disc jockey, music historian, radio personality, voice actor, and actor, known for being the host of several music radio countdown programs, most notably American Top 40, from 1970 until his retirement in 2009, and for providing the voice of Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the Scooby-Doo franchise from 1969 to 1997, and again from 2002 until 2009.
Kasem co-founded the American Top 40 franchise in 1970, hosting it from its inception to 1988, and again from 1998 to 2004. Between January 1989 and early 1998, he was the host of Casey's Top 40, Casey's Hot 20, and Casey's Countdown. From 1998 to 2009, Kasem also hosted two adult contemporary spin-offs of American Top 40: American Top 20 and American Top 10.
In addition to his radio shows, Kasem provided the voice of many commercials, performed many voices for Sesame Street, provided the character voice of Peter Cottontail in the Rankin/Bass production of Here Comes Peter Cottontail, was "the voice of NBC", and helped out with the annual Jerry Lewis telethon. He provided the cartoon voices of Robin in "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" and Super Friends, Mark on Battle of the Planets, and a number of characters for the Transformers cartoon series of the 1980s. In 2008, he was the voice of Out of Sight Retro Night which aired on WGN America but was replaced by rival Rick Dees. After 40 years, Kasem retired from his role of voicing Shaggy in 2009, although he did voice Shaggy's father in the 2010 TV series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

Early life[edit]
Kasem[1] was born in Detroit, Michigan, on April 27, 1932, to Lebanese Druze immigrant parents,[2][3] who had settled in Michigan, where they worked as grocers.[4] Kasem was named after Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a man Kasem said his father respected.[5]
In the 1940s, "Make Believe Ballroom" reportedly inspired Kasem to follow a career in radio and later host a national radio hits countdown show.[6] Kasem received his first experience in radio covering sports at Northwestern High School in Detroit.[7] He then went to Wayne State University for college. While at Wayne State, he voiced children on radio programs such as The Lone Ranger and Challenge of the Yukon.[8] In 1952, Kasem was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to Korea. There, he worked as a DJ/announcer on the Armed Forces Radio Korea Network.[9]
Career[edit]
Early career[edit]
After the war, Kasem began his professional broadcasting career in Flint, Michigan. From there, he spent time in Detroit as a disc jockey for radio station WJBK-AM (and doing such shows as The Lone Ranger and Sergeant Preston of the Yukon); WYSL in Buffalo, New York; and a station in Cleveland before moving to California.[8] At KYA in San Francisco, the general manager first suggested he tone down his 'platter patter' and talk about the records instead. Kasem demurred at first, because it was not what was normally expected in the industry.[10] At KEWB in Oakland, California, Kasem was both the music director and on-air personality.[11] He created a show which mixed in biographical tidbits about the artists' records he played, and attracted the attention of Bill Gavin who tried to recruit him as a partner.[7][11] After Kasem joined KRLA in Los Angeles in 1963, his career really started to blossom[12] and he championed the R&B music of East L.A.[13]
Kasem earned roles in a number of low-budget movies and acted on radio dramas.[6][12] While hosting "dance hops" on local television, he attracted the attention of Dick Clark who as a producer hired him to co-host a daily teenage music show called Shebang starting in 1964.[7] Kasem appeared in network TV series including Hawaii Five-O and Ironside.[8] In 1967, Kasem appeared on The Dating Game, and played the role of "Mouth" in the motorcycle gang film The Glory Stompers. In 1969, he played the role of "Knife" in the "surfers vs. bikers" film Wild Wheels, and had a small role in another biker movie, The Cycle Savages, starring Bruce Dern and Melody Patterson.[14]
Kasem's voice was, however, always the key to his career. At the end of the 1960s, he began working as a voice actor. In 1969, he started one of his most famous roles, the voice of Shaggy on Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.[12] He also voiced the drummer Groove from The Cattanooga Cats that year.[8] In 1964, Kasem had a minor hit single called "Letter From Elaina". A spoken-word recording, it told the story of a girl who met George Harrison after a San Francisco concert.[15][16]
1970–1988: American Top 40[edit]
On July 4, 1970, Kasem, along with Don Bustany, Tom Rounds, and Ron Jacobs, launched the weekly radio program American Top 40 (AT40).[17] At the time, top 40 radio was on the decline as DJs preferred to play album-oriented progressive rock.[12] Loosely based on the TV program Your Hit Parade, the show counted down from #40 on the pop charts to #1—the first #1 was Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)"—based on the Billboard Hot 100 each week.[7] The show, however, was not just about the countdown. Kasem mixed in biographical information about the artists, flashback, and "long-distance dedication" segments where he read letters written by listeners to dedicate songs of their choice to far away loved ones.[12] He often included trivia facts about songs he played and artists whose work he showcased. Frequently, he mentioned a trivia fact about an unnamed singer before a commercial break, then provided the name of the singer after returning from the break.[18] Kasem ended the program with his signature sign-off, "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."[18]
The show debuted on seven stations, but on the back of Kasem's "always friendly and upbeat" baritone voice it soon went nationwide.[12] In October 1978, the show expanded from three hours a week to four. American Top 40's success spawned several imitators including a weekly half-hour music video television show, America's Top 10, hosted by Kasem himself.[12] "When we first went on the air, I thought we would be around for at least 20 years," he later remarked. "I knew the formula worked. I knew people tuned in to find out what the No. 1 record was."[12] Due to his great knowledge of music, Kasem became known as not just a disc jockey, but also a music historian.[19]
In 1971, Kasem provided the character voice of Peter Cottontail in the Rankin/Bass production of Here Comes Peter Cottontail.[8] In the same year, he appeared in the low-budget film The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, in what was probably his best remembered acting role.[12] From 1973 until 1985, he voiced Robin on several SuperFriends franchise shows. In 1980, he voiced Merry in The Return of the King.[20] He also voiced Alexander Cabot III on Josie and the Pussycats and Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space, and supplied a number of voices for Sesame Street.[7][8]
In the late 1970s, Kasem portrayed an actor who imitated Columbo in the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries two-part episode "The Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom." He portrayed a golf commentator in an episode of Charlie's Angels titled "Winning is for Losers", and appeared on Police Story, Quincy, M.E., and Switch. In 1977 he was initially hired as the narrator for the ABC sitcom Soap, but quit after the pilot episode due to the content. Rod Roddy took his place on the program. In 1984, Kasem made a cameo in Ghostbusters, reprising his role as the host of American Top 40.[8] For a period in the late 1970s, Kasem was also the staff announcer for the NBC television network.[7]
1988–1998: Casey's Top 40[edit]
In 1988, Kasem left American Top 40 due to a contract dispute with ABC Radio Network. He signed a five-year, $15 million contract with Westwood One and started Casey's Top 40 which used a different chart - the Radio & Records Contemporary (CHR)/Pop radio airplay chart (making it feature exactly the same song positions as the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, which used the same chart at the time), to determine the top 40.[7][12] He also hosted two shorter versions of the show: Casey's Hot 20 and Casey's Countdown.[8] During the late 1990s, Kasem hosted the Radio Hall of Fame induction ceremony.[11]
Kasem voiced Mark in Battle of the Planets and several Transformers characters: Bluestreak, Cliffjumper, Teletraan I and Dr. Arkeville.[17][20] He left Transformers during the third season due to what he perceived as offensive caricatures of Arabs and Arab countries. In a 1990 article, he explained:
A few years ago, I was doing one of the voices in the TV cartoon series, Transformers. One week, the script featured an evil character named Abdul, King of Carbombya. He was like all the other cartoon Arabs. I asked the director, 'Are there any good Arabs in this script for balance?' We looked. There was one other — but he was no different than Abdul. So, I told the show’s director that, in good conscience, I couldn't be a part of that show.[21]
From 1989 to 1998, Kasem hosted Nick at Nite's New Year's Eve countdown of the top reruns of the year.[7] He also made cameo appearances on Saved by the Bell and ALF in the early 1990s.[22] In 1997, Kasem quit his role as Shaggy in a dispute over a Burger King commercial, with Billy West and Scott Innes taking over the character in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[7][8]
1998–2009: American Top 40 second run[edit]
The original American Top 40, hosted by Shadoe Stevens after Kasem's departure, was cancelled in 1995. Kasem regained the rights to the name in 1997, and the show was back on the air in 1998, on the AMFM Network (later acquired by Premiere Radio Networks).[23]
At the end of 2003, Kasem announced he would be leaving AT40 once his contract expired the following month and would be replaced by Ryan Seacrest.[12] He agreed to a new contract to continue hosting his weekly adult contemporary countdown shows in the interim, which at the time were both titled American Top 20. In 2005 Kasem renewed his deal with Premiere Radio Networks to continue hosting his shows, one of which had been reduced to ten songs and had, appropriately, been retitled American Top 10 to reflect the change.[12]
In April 2005, a television special called American Top 40 Live aired on the Fox network, hosted by Seacrest, with Kasem appearing on the show.[24][25] In 2008, Kasem did the voice-over for WGN America's Out of Sight Retro Night.[17] He was also the host of the short-lived American version of 100% during the 1998–99 season.[14]
In June 2009, Premiere announced it would no longer produce Kasem's two remaining countdowns and end their eleven-year relationship.[26] Kasem decided not to try to bring his show to another syndicator or find a replacement host to continue the show and, citing a desire to explore other avenues in his life such as writing a memoir, the 77-year old Kasem sent out a press release during the last week of June that he would be retiring from radio on July 4 weekend, the thirty-ninth anniversary of the first ever countdown he presided over.[27]
Kasem also performed TV commercial voice-overs throughout his career, appearing in more than 100 commercials in all.[8]
In 2002, Kasem reprised the role of Shaggy when it was determined the character would be a vegetarian.[7] In 2009, he retired from voice acting, with his final performance being the voice of Shaggy in Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword.[28] He did voice Shaggy again for "The Official BBC Children in Need Medley", but went uncredited by his request.[29] Although officially retired from acting, he provided the voice of Colton Rogers, Shaggy's father, on a recurring basis for the 2010–2013 series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, again uncredited at his request.[20]
As for his recognizable voice quality, "It's a natural quality of huskiness in the midrange of my voice that I call 'garbage,'" he stated to The New York Times. "It's not a clear-toned announcer's voice. It's more like the voice of the guy next door."[9]
Personal life[edit]
Kasem was a devout vegan, supported animal rights and environmental causes, and was a critic of factory farming.[30][31] He initially quit voicing Shaggy in the late 1990s, when asked to voice Shaggy in a Burger King commercial, returning in 2002 after negotiating to have Shaggy become a vegetarian.[31]
Kasem was active in politics for years, supporting Lebanese-American and Arab-American causes,[32] an interest which was triggered by the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.[33] He wrote a brochure published by the Arab American Institute entitled "Arab-Americans: Making a Difference".[34] He turned down a position in season three of Transformers because of the show's plot portraying "evil Arabs".[35] He also called for a fairer depiction of heroes and villains, on behalf of all cultures, in Disney's 1994 sequel to Aladdin called The Return of Jafar.[16] In 1996, he was honored as "Man of the Year" by the American Druze Society.[35] Kasem campaigned against the Gulf War, advocating non-military means of pressuring Saddam Hussein into withdrawing from Kuwait,[33] was an advocate of Palestinian independence[36] and arranged conflict resolution workshops for Arab Americans and Jewish Americans.[37]
A political liberal, he narrated a campaign ad for George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign,[38] hosted fundraisers for Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988,[39] supported Ralph Nader for U.S. President in 2000, and supported progressive Democrat Dennis Kucinich in his 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns.[40] Kasem supported a number of other progressive causes, including affordable housing and the rights of the homeless.[37]
Kasem was married to Linda Myers from 1972 to 1979; they had three children:[41] Mike, Julie, and Kerri Kasem.[42][43]
Kasem and his wife Jean at the 1993 Emmy Awards
Kasem was married to actress Jean Thompson from 1980 until his death. They had one child, Liberty Jean Kasem.[41]
In 1989, Kasem purchased a home built in 1954 and located at 138 North Mapleton Drive, previously owned by developer Abraham M. Lurie, as a birthday present for his wife Jean.[44][45] In 2013, he listed it for US$43 million.[44][45]
Illness and death[edit]
In October 2013, Kerri Kasem said her father was suffering from Parkinson's disease, which a doctor had diagnosed in 2007;[46][47] a few months later, she said he was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which is often difficult to differentiate from Parkinson's.[48] Due to his condition, he was no longer able to speak during his final months.[49]
As his health worsened in 2013, Jean Kasem prevented any contact with her husband, particularly from his children by his first marriage. On October 1, Kerri, Mike and Julie protested in front of the Kasem home, having not been allowed contact with their father for three months; some of Casey Kasem's long-time friends and colleagues, along with his brother Mouner, also joined the demonstration.[42][43][50] The eldest Kasem children sought conservatorship over their father's care, with Julie and her husband Jamil Aboulhosn filing the papers;[51] the court denied their petition in November.[52]
Kasem was removed from a Santa Monica, California nursing home by his wife on May 7, 2014.[53] On May 12, Kerri Kasem was granted temporary conservatorship over her father, despite her stepmother's objection.[54] The court also ordered an investigation into Casey Kasem's whereabouts, after his wife's attorney told the court Casey was "no longer in the United States".[49] He was found soon afterward in Washington state.[55]
On June 6, 2014, Kasem was reported to be in critical but stable condition at a hospital in Washington state, receiving antibiotics for bedsores and treatment for high blood pressure. It was revealed that he had been bedridden for some time.[56] A judge ordered separate visitation times due to antagonism between Jean Kasem and his children from his first wife.[57] Judge Daniel S. Murphy ruled that Kasem had to be hydrated, fed, and medicated as a court-appointed lawyer reported on his health status. Jean Kasem claimed that he had been given no food, water, or medication the previous weekend. Kerri Kasem's lawyer stated that she had him removed from artificial food and water on the orders of a doctor and in accordance with a directive her father signed in 2007 saying he would not want to be kept alive if it "would result in a mere biological existence, devoid of cognitive function, with no reasonable hope for normal functioning."[47] Murphy reversed his order the following Monday, after it became known that Kasem's body was no longer responding to the artificial nutrition, allowing the family to place Kasem on "end-of-life" measures over the objections of Jean Kasem.[58]
On June 15, 2014, Kasem died at St. Anthony's Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington at the age of 82. The immediate cause of death was reported as sepsis caused by an ulcerated bedsore.[12][59][60] He was survived by his wife, four children, and four grandchildren.[61] His body was handed over to his widow, who would make funeral arrangements.[62] Reportedly, Kasem wanted to be buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.[63]
By July 19, a judge had granted Kasem's daughter Kerri a temporary restraining order to prevent his wife from cremating Kasem's body to allow an autopsy to be performed, but when she went to give a copy of the order to the funeral home, she was informed the body had been moved at the directive of Jean Kasem.[64][65] Kasem's wife had the body moved to a funeral home in Montreal on July 14, 2014.[65] On August 14, it was reported in the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang that Kasem was going to be buried in Oslo.[66][67][68]
Kasem's family had his interment at Oslo Western Civil Cemetery on December 16, 2014, more than six months after his death.[69][70]
In November 2015, three of Kasem's children and his brother sued his widow for wrongful death. The lawsuit charges Jean Kasem with elder abuse and inflicting emotional distress on the children by restricting access prior to his death.[71]
Honors[edit]
In 1981, Kasem was granted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[72] He was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame radio division in 1985,[73] and the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1992. Five years later, he received the Radio Hall of Fame's first Lifetime Achievement Award.[7] In 2003, Kasem was given the Radio Icon award at the Radio Music Awards.[72]

This page contains naming conventions for music-related articles, covering both classical musical works and popular bands, albums and songs.
The first step for disambiguating classical compositions is rather a reference to their composer, while popular music is rather disambiguated by a type qualifier. Cross-over rather follows the popular music convention, e.g. Swanee (song), not Swanee (Gershwin).
Apart from some points regarding formatting and disambiguation in #Bands, albums and songs, the naming conventions regarding articles on musicians are covered by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), including what is said there on groups of people (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Articles combining biographies of several people). Orchestras, music production companies, etc. are however also often subject to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies). See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite or indefinite article at beginning of name)#Names of groups, sports teams and companies

Definitions – italics[edit]
See also: WP:ITALICTITLE, MOS:ITAL, MOS:ITALICS, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles § Italics
Generic and non-generic names
Compositions have one or more generic or non-generic names:
Generic name
Non-generic name
Symphony No. 2 (Mahler) Resurrection Symphony
Serenade in G major, K. 525 Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Aria, BWV 508 "Bist du bei mir"
song cycle Op. 25 (Schubert) Die schöne Müllerin
Variations on a Theme by Haydn Saint Anthony Variations
— Pavane pour une infante défunte
Pavane (Fauré) —
Quartettsatz, D 103 (Schubert) —
Non-generic names are italicised, except those of individual dances, songs, hymns, lieder and arias (e.g. "The Blue Danube", "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", "Heidenröslein", "Madamina, il catalogo è questo"), and separate movements or sections of larger works (e.g. "Ride of the Valkyries").
Also a descriptive name can be a non-generic name that is not italicized (e.g. Music for the Royal Fireworks), unless it is the actual name of the work (e.g. The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Trois mouvements de Petrouchka). Most generic names are, however, nothing else than standardized descriptive names.
Generic and non-generic composition types
Most compositions belong to a generic composition type:
Composition type
Examples
— Vexations
symphony Sinfonia da Requiem
Symphony in C major (Wagner)
sonatina Sonatina (Bartók)
Sonatine bureaucratique
concerto for two pianos and orchestra Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart)
Concerto for Two Pianos (Stravinsky)
incidental music A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mendelssohn)
Rosamunde
piano quintet Trout Quintet
Piano Quintet (Schumann)
A generic name for a generic composition type is not italicised. This is language-independent, e.g. Liederkreis (German for song cycle) is not italicized in Liederkreis, Op. 24 (Schumann).
Composition titles that are incipits and have been put to music by several composers are usually regarded as generic names, and so not italicized, e.g. Stabat Mater (Dvořák), unless the composition belongs to an otherwise defined composition type like cantata, e.g. Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1.
In some exceptional cases what in the wording looks like a generic name is treated as a non-generic name (this can only be done for primary topics that would need no further disambiguation):
Concerto for Group and Orchestra
Adagio for Strings
Quotation marks and partially italicized titles[edit]
See also: WP:TITLESPECIALCHARACTERS and MOS:QUOTEMARKS
Quotation marks should be avoided, except for the name of a theme in a set of variations in a generic article title:
Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman"
Variations on "I Got Rhythm"
Otherwise the use of quotation marks in generic artitle titles is limited to a very few cases:
Concerto in E-flat "Dumbarton Oaks"
Partially italicized article titles are likewise unusual for compositions (that is, apart from never italicizing comma-separated and parenthetical disambiguators):
William Tell Overture ("Overture" not italicized while the composition is a part of a larger work, the opera with the same name – compare Coriolan Overture, not part of a larger work)
Porgy and Bess discography
Italics and quotation marks should not be used together in a single article title.
Capitalization of generic names[edit]
Further information: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) and Wikipedia:Article Titles § Article title format
Generic names of compositions (sonata, partita, quartet, symphony,...) should not be capitalized beyond the first character of an article title in descriptive article titles. Examples:
Schubert's last sonatas
List of symphonies with names
Similar for article titles of articles on the composition types themselves:
Violin sonata
"Fixed set" principle for an article on a group of compositions: in Cello Suites (Bach) the second word is capitalized: it is a generic name for a fixed set of 6 suites belonging to the same group. In the baroque to classical era such set often consisted of 6 or 12 similar works for a single opus number. Cello suites (Britten) is not a fixed set (three different opus numbers, not composed as a single set), so "suites" not capitalized in the article title, it is a descriptive article title.
Generic names of compositions are capitalized in article titles on a single composition,
Always when the generic name is part of an English-language non-generic article title:
An Alpine Symphony
For untranslated and untransliterated article titles from other languages, use the convention of the language of origin:
Grande symphonie funèbre et triomphale
Prélude, Choral et Fugue (Franck)
For extinct languages like Latin the convention can be less clear, so depends largely on consensus and how the available sources would generally write the name:
Missa Brevis (Britten)
Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo
Usually in all other cases:
Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra (Mozart)
Violin Sonata (Franck)
However, not always:
Violin sonata in A major (HWV 361)
Instrumentation included in generic names:
Capitalized as part of the name of the composition:
Trio Sonata for Two Flutes (W. F. Bach)
Not capitalized as natural disambiguator (after the key signature if there is one):
Sonata in G major for two flutes and basso continuo, BWV 1039
Articles not belonging to a series: common name and disambiguation[edit]
See also: Wikipedia:Article titles § Common names, Wikipedia:Article titles § Disambiguation, and Wikipedia:Disambiguation
Compositions that fall under no generic composition type category are rare. Their article title strictly follows the common name principle:
Vexations
4′33″
Compositions that are one of a kind and nonetheless have a generic name not requiring additional disambiguation are even more exceptional:
Arpeggione Sonata
Concerto for Horn and Hardart
When the name of a non-generic composition is neither unique nor the primary topic under this name, add the composer's last name as parenthical disambiguator:
Syrinx (Debussy)
Poème (Chausson)
Common name always applies when a composer composed only one instance of a generic type of composition:
1. X. 1905
Siegfried Idyll
Symphony on a French Mountain Air
War Requiem
Enigma Variations
A non-generic article title for an article on a composition that is unique to a composer is only disambiguated by composer's name or composition type when such disambiguation is needed:
A German Requiem (Brahms)
Deutsche Messe (Schubert)
Jack in the Box (Satie)
Ave Maria (Schubert)
Wiener Blut (waltz)
When disambiguation is needed for a non-generic article title that applies to several works by the same composer, use composition type or catalogue number:
La tempesta di mare (flute concerto); La tempesta di mare (violin concerto)
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 61; Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland, BWV 659
Unless the composition type is truly one of a kind (exactly one composer with exactly one instance of the type) or is a set of variations disambiguated by their theme, generic compositions with a generic article title are always disambiguated by catalogue number and/or the name of the composer:
Requiem (Fauré)
Piano Concerto (Dvořák)
Sinfonia Concertante (Haydn)
Variations on a Theme of Corelli
Symphony in D minor (Franck)
Quodlibet, BWV 524
Avoid however to disambiguate by composer when the composer is not known with certainty, or a composer's name would be otherwise misleading:
Adagio in G minor, not Adagio (Albinoni), which redirects to the former
Key signature, catalogue number, opus number, and other additions to a composition's article title[edit]
Key signature
The key signature of a composition is only added to the article title when it is part of the common name of the composition. For generic names of compositions the formatting of the key signature is as described in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music#Accidentals, however avoiding special graphics (♭, ♯) in article titles.
As a disambiguating term, key signatures can only be used in natural disambiguation, so they're never enclosed in parentheses, nor after a comma.
As key signatures are not always mentioned, can be ambiguous, and are often difficult to remember, they can't serve as an exclusive disambiguating term, unless, exceptionally, as part of a non-generic common name article title, e.g. Te Deum in C.
Catalogue number
Disambiguation by catalogue number is usually avoided while these numbers have a low recognisability potential, and can only be used for these composers that have a single widely used catalogue covering all of their compositions:
Bach: BWV – For Anhang (Anh.) numbers, without the Roman numeral (I, II, III) that indicates the Anhang section, e.g. Gott, gib dein Gerichte dem Könige, BWV Anh. 3, not Gott, gib dein Gerichte dem Könige, BWV Anh. I 3
Buxtehude: BuxWV
Handel: HWV
Mozart: K.: there is another reason to avoid this one as much as possible: there is a lot of variation in the numbers in subsequent editions of the catalogue. When K. numbers are used in article titles nonetheless, use the oldest available catalogue number, usually the one in the original 1862 version of the catalogue, as these oldest numbers appear the most recognisable ones. However, when a composition has as well been numbered in the main catalogue (in one or more editions) and also, in one or more editions, in the Anhang (Anh.) of the catalogue, it is best to differentiate: use the oldest K. Anh. number unless when it is certain that Mozart is the composer of the piece, in which case the oldest main catalogue number should be used. All available K. and K. Anh. numbers should be mentioned in the article.
Schubert: D – use Deutsch numbers only according to the latest version of the Deutsch catalogue in article titles, and where applicable explain former numbers in the article.
An advantage of disambiguation by catalogue number is however that compositions can be uniquely identified without taking a stance on who composed them:
Uns ist ein Kind geboren, BWV 142 – composer uncertain, but disambiguated from similar works by, among others, Graupner and Telemann
Catalogue numbers can be added as disambiguating term after the common name:
Between parentheses: Violin sonata in A major (HWV 361)
Separated by a comma: Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12, Kyrie in F major, K. 33, Passacaglia in D minor, BuxWV 161 (note: comma omitted when a non-generic title ends on another punctuation mark, e.g. Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172)
Avoid D numbers as exclusive disambiguating term, in other words, an article title containing a Deutsch number should always end on "(Schubert)":
Adagio and Rondo concertante in F major, D 487 (Schubert)
Avoid Deest as a catalogue indicator in an article title: if there is no catalogue number, the catalogue can't be used as part of the disambiguation.
Opus number
Opus numbers are only part of a generic name when the composition (or group of compositions) is usually indicated in that fashion:
String Quartets, Op. 76 (Haydn)
Also opus numbers can not be used as exclusive disambiguating term, they're always followed by the last name of the composer in parentheses.
Other additions
Following types of qualifiers should only be added to an article title when they're part of the common name. For generic titles they are generally not considered sufficient as an exclusive disambiguating term, so would usually require an additional composer/catalogue type of disambiguating term:
number of items in a set: Twenty Variations in G major (Haydn), Twelve Violin Sonatas, Op. 2 (Vivaldi), 12 Fantasias for Solo Violin (Telemann)
instrumentation: Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments (Stravinsky), Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds (Mozart), Triple Concerto (Beethoven) – only when the named instrument(s) only feature in one single composition the disambiguation can be complete without naming the composer or catalogue number, e.g. Arpeggione Sonata (see above).
ethnic and/or stylistic indicators, exceptional: e.g. Overture in the French style, BWV 831; only when the series is exclusive to one composer the name of the composer and/or the catalogue number can be omitted, e.g. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 17 (see below); note that an ethnic qualifier usually indicates a non-generic title: "Bohemian Rhapsody", Rapsodie Espagnole, Italian Concerto (Bach).
Disambiguate by last name only?
A last name can be ambiguous, in which case it is best to keep an eye on what one is disambiguating from:
Composers sharing the same last name...
For composers sharing surnames disambiguation by last name only is not usually problematic, e.g.:
Liebeslieder, Op. 114 (Strauss) – not disambiguated by the (waltz) epithet while also another composer wrote Liebeslieder Waltzes
Oboe Concerto (Strauss) – Richard Strauss, no confusion with Johann Strauss II.
Only when period, style, way of naming compositions etc can be confusing the added first name can give additional clarity, e.g. Requiem (Michael Haydn). A particular example of this is Johann Sebastian Bach and his many composing namesakes. Conventionally J. S. Bach's compositions would be the primary topic in any genre, i.e. without disambiguating term (Brandenburg Concertos) if not needed, and disambiguated or serialized by BWV number (Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582) or (Bach) parenthetical disambiguating term (Orchestral suites (Bach)). Only descriptive titles (including category names) would usually give the full name for any composer after "by" (List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Category:Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach). For the other Bachs, if parenthetical disambiguation by name of the composer is needed: add the initials (with periods and spaces) in the parenthesis:
Trio Sonata for Two Flutes (W. F. Bach)
Sonata in G major for two flutes and basso continuo, BWV 1039
Last name can signify something completely different...
E.g. (Ireland) as a disambiguating term would rather refer to Ireland than to John Ireland, so the precision criterion for article titling calls for (John Ireland) when the name of the composer is used as a parenthetical disambiguating term.
Composer uncertain
Use (attributed to <most likely of the named composers>) as disambiguating term for a composition when all of the following applies:
the composition isn't part of a series that uses the standard series format (see below);
its composer isn't known with certainty, but there is at least one name of a composer to whom the composition has been attributed;
there is no other way to avoid the composer disambiguating term (e.g. using a primary topic nickname, or disambiguating by a catalogue number that doesn't imply authorship, disambiguating by composition type, etc.)
Articles in series[edit]
Shortcut:
WP:MUSICSERIES
When a composer wrote more than one composition of a similar type, multiple articles on such compositions form a series. The most standardized format for article names of such a series is as follows:
[composition type] No. [number] ([last name of composer])
E.g.,
Symphony No. 1 (Mahler)
Symphony No. 104 (Haydn) (keep the parenthical disambiguator even if the article title is unique without it)
For concerto series, composition type includes soloist instrumentation (e.g. "Cello Concerto"). Also for sonata series the (soloist) instrumentation is mentioned in the composition type ("Violin Sonata"). Similar for most other types of chamber music ("Partita for keyboard", "Flute Quartet"). For other numbered series the instrumentation is only mentioned when not what one would usually expect, e.g. "Symphony for Organ". Other additions when well-established, e.g. "Hungarian Rhapsody" for the series of compositions by Liszt.
Deviations from this standardized format are only possible:
when the composition is never numbered: e.g. Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E major (Mendelssohn), Manfred Symphony, Ein Heldenleben, Rhapsody in Blue; If needed with disambiguation to the composer's name: e.g. Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)
when the numbering is part of a composition's non-generic name, and only that non-generic name is used to indicate the composition, e.g. Second Rhapsody
when the article groups several compositions of the series, e.g. Preludes, Op. 23 (Rachmaninoff), Má vlast
when numberings are ambiguous, or almost never used, e.g. Piano Sonata in A minor, D 845 (Schubert), Cello Concerto in A major (Dvořák), Eine kleine Nachtmusik
when the composition type has only been used in a series by one composer, which makes the composer disambiguator redundant, e.g. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19
When the usual standardization is not possible for the aforementioned reasons, a common format is nonetheless preferably maintained across related series for a particular composer:
Try to stay close to the standardized format: similar layout, capitalization and disambiguator format throughout the series are preferable.
Note however that while the standardized format can take some license w.r.t. recognizability (e.g. Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven), not Moonlight Sonata nor Piano Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight" (Beethoven)), that license to divert from WP:RECOGNIZABLE is forfeited once the standardized series format has been left. However,
... weigh recognizability and serialization benefits with WP:CONCISE, e.g. Motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, BWV 226 might be slightly more recognizable than Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, BWV 226 but not enough to make the article title that much longer.
Lists[edit]
A stand-alone list of a composer's compositions is titled "List of compositions by <composer name>". Alternatively, when the main list of a composer's compositions is under the name of a broadly used catalogue for these compositions, "List of compositions by <composer name>" should be a redirect to that catalogue page. Examples:
List of compositions by Malcolm Arnold
List of compositions by Joseph Haydn redirects to Hoboken catalogue
Two stand-alone lists
Having two separate pages listing all compositions of a composer is only possible when one is a bullet list (e.g. grouped by genre) and the other a sortable table. Further: make sure to follow all provisions at Wikipedia:Content forking#List formats. Examples:
Schubert:
by genre bullet list: List of compositions by Franz Schubert by genre
sortable table: List of compositions by Franz Schubert
Mozart:
by genre bullet list: List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
sortable table: Köchel catalogue
Partial lists
For partial lists, replace "compositions" in the article title by another term that defines the list or add a qualifier at the end of the article title. Examples:
List of operas by Gaspare Spontini
List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach printed during his lifetime
"Anhang" topics
Catalogues of compositions of a composer often contain separate lists of lost works, arrangements, autograph copies of someone else's compositions and doubtful and/or spurious works. In most cases such "Anhang"-related items are contained in the main list (e.g. List of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach#BWV Anhang). Exceptionally, when such works take a prominent place in the composer's oeuvre, they are listed on a separate page (e.g. List of adaptations by Ferruccio Busoni).
"works"
An article title starting with "List of works ..." implies creative works in multiple media (e.g. List of works published posthumously), otherwise a more precise descriptor of the works contained in the list should be used.
Facilitate easy navigation[edit]
Redirects
always consider making redirects to the article from other plausible names to aid searching, and avoid people creating duplicate articles. For example, if you create Piano Trio No. 1 (Schubert), consider making redirects to it from Piano Trio in B-flat major (Schubert) and Piano Trio, D. 898 (Schubert).
Navboxes
compositions may be described under article titles without opus number, catalogue number, nickname and other characteristics that may be highly recognizable to some readers: series should always have navboxes with such additional information and/or link to a list article that contains the details.
Category sorting
choose a clear sorting scheme for all compositions in a category, that is also as intuitive as possible to readers less familiar with the topic.
Bands, albums and songs[edit]
Shortcut:
WP:BANDNAME
Do not replicate stylized typography in logos and album art, though a redirect may be appropriate (for example, KoЯn redirects to Korn).
Capitalization[edit]
Capitalization of band names should be consistent with the guidelines for trademarks. The definite article at the start of a band name (such as the Beatles) should be lowercase in running prose / sentence case.
Capitalization of song titles and album titles should be consistent with the guidelines for composition titles; in particular, capitalize the first and last word and all other words except:
coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)
prepositions shorter than five letters (as, in, to, like, over, with)
articles (an, a, the)
the word to when used to form an infinitive.
Note that short verbs (Is, Are, and Do) and pronouns (Me, It, and His) are capitalized.
Disambiguation[edit]
Shortcut:
WP:NCMDAB
Main page: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music)/Disambiguation
If the title of a musical group or a recording does not share its title with any other topic in Wikipedia, use the base title, for example the Front Bottoms (not the Front Bottoms (band)), The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale (not The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale (Prince album)), or "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (not "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (song)). If the band's name or the recording's title has the same title as other topics (musical or not), determine whether there is a primary topic for the base title by making a comparison. For example, the Beatles are a primary topic due to their historical relevance in sources and is determined to be the primary topic against other articles of the same or similar name, or "Hey Brother", which was determined by discussion to be primary rather than the other articles of the same or similar name. In case the musical group or recording does not meet the primary topic criteria, use the appropriate method of disambiguation, but do not pre-emptively disambiguate a page.[1] These styles can be found at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (music)/Disambiguation.
Jump up ^ An RFC closed in June 2016 has established consensus that further disambiguation is only required when multiple songs or albums of the same name have articles.
