JURY REQUIREMENTS
MUP 261 requires a minimum repertoire of 4 learned and memorized art songs for Jury during your first two semesters. Literature should be from the early Italian,
English classics (musical theatre can be optional/extra), or supplemental material at studio teacher’s discretion. Starting in your third semester, assuming you have made
satisfactory progress, you are required a minimum repertoire of 5 learned and memorized art songs for Jury with an introduction to 19th and 20th century French and German
literature. Additional literature choices may begin to introduce British, American repertoire. Options also include oratorio and opera arias. Your fourth semester jury will be
considered the qualifying or proficiency jury that allows students to continue in a degree plan where voice is the concentration. A minimum of five (5) songs are prepared and
all languages from classic literature should be represented. In addition, those students wanting to continue in a performance degree must earn a performer’s certificate which is
above and beyond the proficiency. (It is possible to pass the proficiency and not be admitted to the BM performance degree for the junior year.)
MUP 461 requires a minimum repertoire of 6 learned and memorized art songs for Jury. Literature will build on the former requirements and begin to include more
contemporary and/or complex literature at the discretion of the studio teacher. Possibilities also include a complete song cycle and works in additional languages. The
requirement for new literature may be lessened in the jury preceding a recital. Jury requirements are dismissed when a Recital is presented close to the time of Jury Exams.
Recital Hearings must be presented a minimum of 14 days prior to the scheduled recital. Unless cleared by the faculty in advance, hearings will occur at the end of Tuesday
recital class.
BME and BA students will be required to perform 2 pieces from their repertoire. BM-Performance, MM and DMA students are required to sing 3.
All Students enrolled in 261, 461, 661, 761, and 861 must prepare the required repertoire and sing a jury unless they are doing a recital that semester. If a student
doesn’t want the requirements of voice-major MUP numbers they should enroll in MUP 163 or 663.
