Large Ensemble Auditions Fall 2012 August 18, 2012 Auditions are required of all percussionists wishing to enroll in applied lessons. As required by the School of Music, all students enrolled in private lessons must perform in one of the large conducted ensembles. To be clear: Unless you are excused by the Director of the School of Music, you will be playing in a large ensemble if you are enrolled in lessons. This means that you MUST take this audition. If this still isn't clear to you, please contact Dr. Weinberg. The audition will help determine personnel best qualified for these ensembles as well as give all students the experience of preparing and taking a professional audition. The audition will consist of two parts: 1) the solos specified in the audition list 2) prepared orchestral excerpts as specified in each area below. If you are a new student, or have not formally studied excerpts, you will need to prepare yourself as best you can on the excerpts and play the solo selections. Apply your own good musical sense about rhythm and technique, get a score and study the excerpts for musical context, and listen to several recordings for style, tempo and phrasing. Do your best for your ability and experience. Auditions will be held Saturday, August 18th starting at 9:00 a.m. in room 170 with the percussion faculty. Auditions will be screened. All instruments will be provided at the audition site. Players may bring their own instruments if preferred but must be set up before their playing time. (Room 170 is reserved for percussionists starting at 8:00 a.m. on August18.) Persons auditioning found to be less than prepared will be dismissed from the audition. This year, as last year, we’ll be taking our audition repertoire directly from the “real world”. For the 2012/2013 Large Ensemble Audition, we’ll be using the list from the Orlando Symphony Orchestra Principal Percussion Auditions. The following pages contain the audition list and the required repertoire. Since the Orlando list is quite long, only the items highlighted in yellow will be required. All of the music is provided in this file. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Weinberg at [email protected] Thanks, The Percussion Faculty
