Audition Literature Information
This compilation has been prepared by the music faculty to indicate expectations (not
requirements) in music literature. Students are encouraged to perform selections that will display
their best performing ability. They may elect to perform equivalent music that does not appear on
the list. Audition literature selections must include two works of contrasting style. The selections
may come from a single, larger work such as two movements from a Baroque sonata
