Your audition will consist of a range check (low, high and register shifts), singing back a short melody pattern, sight singing and prepared madrigal singing performance. The total process for one person should take about 10 minutes. We schedule in blocks of 1/2 hour (you and two other singers will audition in your block). Please plan to be available for the entire block.
You must perform the song in the part(s) that you would like to be considered. For example, if you do not sing the alto line, you will most likely not be considered as an alto in the choir. You may prepare more than one part.

Memorization is encouraged but not mandatory. When you perform in your "at school" audition, you will sing through twice. The first time is with the balanced voices (all parts). The second time through is with the other parts and your part not played (you sing the missing part). I would suggest that you listen to several different versions so that you can adjust for tone and tempo.
