Repertoire List

Alliesmom · 08-29-2007, 09:50 PM

My D has been taking voice lessons and performing for years. She has sung countless songs! Any suggestions on a format for this requirement to the Michigan application?

Here is the link with the info on how to do the repertoire list:

http://www.music.umich.edu/prospecti...resume_rep.htm

The list should be alphabetical by composer. My D then listed the song names under the composer and noted "M" for memorized and/or "P" for performed in parantheses after the song name. Then in an adjacent column she put the name of the show that the song was from. I think some others may have done it a little differently - but it does specify that it should be alphabetical by composer.

Good luck!

I'm sure these lists go on and on and on -- especially when you have had a kid who has been taking voice for seven years and has been in countless shows! How many pages was your list?

The information given says to focus on pieces studied during high school. Earlier works can be listed "if they represent significant milestones in your artistic development". In addition, "only include ensemble pieces in which you had lengthy/extensive solos".

Even in her HS career, D has sung lots of songs with her voice teacher -- usually as a teaching method. Do these types of songs count or is it just songs she has performed???

If it is a song she has worked on and memorized, but not performed on stage, she can include it but just put an "M" next to it, and not a "P."

I also would follow what triplethreatx3 posted.

For your repertoire list, did you include the lyricist as well as the composer?
Did you list the date of the composition?

One more question. Did you separate the classical pieces from the MT pieces?

My daughter did include the lyricist, in parentheses after the composer's name. She did not list the dates, although that might be a good idea. And she also did not separate out classical from MT - another good idea! She had MT, movie songs, classical and pop all together alphabetized by composer - but then indicated in the column on the right the origin of the piece. There are lots of ways you can do this list, I guess. Sounds like you are on the right track - good luck with it!

OOPS!! Part of my post got lost- so here it is- hope this helps!!
She put the show in italics to distinguish from composer.
MY D has been performing with professional compcompanies since age 11 but she mainly listed hs rep as already suggested.
