Abstract
The Max Steiner Digital Thematic Catalog is an ongoing corpus study project which will incorporate thematic data from all of Steiner's existing film scores (from 1930–1965). This film music corpus is significant because Steiner's work is representative of over three decades of Hollywood film scoring practices. Here we describe our methods and procedures in tagging film music data for an online database. Consistent metadata and tagging will help researchers to more effectively use the data in this corpus.
