Prescreening Recording (Audio or Video; video strongly preferred for one selection):Provide seven selections from the operatic, oratorio, and/or art song repertoire of contrasting style and language. Four of these selections should be operatic arias. Singers are asked to include one video as part of the 7 selections submitted.

Live Audition: Audition and prescreening repertoire may be the same or different, as long as both programs adhere to these guidelines.

Voice (Early music, Oratorio, and Chamber Ensemble)

Prescreening Recording (Audio or Video; video preferred for one selection): Include 7 selections of contrasting style and language from the sacred music (oratorio, mass, cantata, sacred song, etc.), opera, and art song repertoire. Selections can be chosen from any period, including contemporary compositions. However, at least 3 selections should be from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. At least one aria by J.S. Bach is required. Applicants should choose selections that highlight their versatility as a performer. Singers are asked to include one video as part of the 7 selections submitted.

Live Audition: Prepare 5 pieces of contrasting style, language, and period. These selections may be the same or different works from the prescreening recording. Of the five selections, prepare at least two Baroque selections (including one aria by J.S. Bach) and a third selection written prior to 1700. All works should be chosen from the same reportorial categories as above. Applicants will be asked to demonstrate sight-reading ability and other essential musical skills.

1.  a Bach prelude and fugue or another original work by Bach (not a transcription)
2.  a sonata or variations by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, or Schubert (for the recording, provide at least two contrasting movements; for the live audition, prepare an entire work)
3.  a larger Romantic nineteenth-century work
4.  a 20th or 21st century composition (for a multi-movement work, provide at least 2 contrasting movements)

• (1) one movement of an unaccompanied Bach sonata or partita (A.D., M.M.A., and D.M.A. applicants must provide two movements)
• (2) a movement of a Romantic or twentieth-century concerto
• (3) any Paganini caprice
• (4) a short work of your choice that shows off your violinistic style
• (5) a movement of a Mozart concerto

• (1) the second movement of the Prokofiev Sinfonia Concertante or the first movement of the Shostakovich Concerto No. 1
• (2) the first movement of the Haydn D Major Concerto or the last movement of the Haydn C Major Concerto

• (1) Sonatine of Dutilleux (with piano)
• (2) the second movement of Mozart’s Concerto in D Major
• (3) on piccolo: Rossini’s Semiramide Overture (select one of the standard excerpts)
• (4) a work of the applicant’s choice

Prescreening Recording: Applicants must submit scores and recordings of three recent works (no more than three, please), preferably written for a different group of instruments, voice, and/or electronic media. Those applicants who advance beyond the prescreening round will be invited to New Haven for a 30-minute interview with the composition faculty.

Composers may upload recordings and PDFs of scores to the online application, or submit hard copies by mail. Large (oversized) scores that would be difficult to review on a computer screen should be sent by mail. Applicants should submit all scores/recordings by the same method (either online or by mail), not a combination of both methods.
