I wonder why the PS mentions musical works. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for such a restriction.

I would agree. LC PCC-PS 6.27.4.4 seems to apply here, which recommends adding “(Compilation)” to the VAP.

Subject: [PCCLIST] Mistaken cross reference to "Selections" CCT?
Hi,
I’m curious about the recent addition by DLC of a 400 to the authority record (n 2016068853) for:
Watts, Isaac, $d 1674-1748. $t Divine songs. $k Selections
The 400 is:
Watts, Isaac, $d 1674-1748. $t Cradle hymn
Now, though I’m no expert, it looks to me like “Cradle hymn” is just one poetic work. So I don’t think this cross reference makes sense.
The citation given for the work this 400 is based on has the date 1830. A book published with this date (LCCN 23018994) has this title/subtitle: “The cradle hymn : with the
morning and evening hymns.” So that book probably really does merit the “selections” CCT, but to use its title alone in a name-title cross reference on the authority record looks wrong to me.
Should the title portion of the 400 be changed? Perhaps to: Cradle hymn (Compilation)?
These kinds of problems seem to crop up an awful lot.
Thanks,
