Filene Competition: Repertoire Requirements Repertoire for the competition will be from the Western classical tradition. Jazz and original compositions cannot be accepted. Instrumentalists will choose at least two selections representing different stylistic periods. Percussionists should submit appropriate recital material for mallet percussion (vibraphone, marimba, or xylophone). Singers will choose three selections, including one in a foreign language, representing different stylistic periods (no show tunes please). The works you perform should demonstrate your current level of technical proficiency and musicianship. Tapes should be unedited, with no artificial enhancement or corrective software applied. Normally, the repertoire is the same for both rounds of the competition; however, with advance approval from the chair of the Music Department, you may change the repertoire you perform in the final round. Scores may be used in all areas of performance except voice. Judges may request performance of any portion of the music and may terminate the audition after they have heard a representative amount of material. For repertoire suggestions contact Professor Thomas Denny, Chair, Department of Music, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York 12866-1632; 518-580-5320. <tdenny@skidmore.edu> Return to Filene Materials Revised 10 May, 2006
