Message from the President The Royal Conservatory of Music was founded in 1886 with the idea that a single institution could bind the people of a nation together with the common thread of shared musical experience. More than a century later, The Royal Conservatory of Music has achieved this dream. The Royal Conservatory of Music is recognized in communities throughout North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as a strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than a hundred years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program combined with regular evaluation procedures ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory of Music in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfilment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary.

Dr. Peter C. Simon President

Message from the President

The Royal Conservatory of Music

Preface The 2005 edition of the Voice Syllabus represents the work of dedicated teachers, performers, and examiners whose assistance is here gratefully acknowledged. This Syllabus replaces all previous voice syllabi, and forms the official requirements of The Royal Conservatory of Music for voice examinations conducted by RCM Examinations. The RCM Examinations Certificate Program for voice consists of twelve levels: an introductory level, ten graded levels (Grades 1 through 10), and an Associate of The Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) diploma. Each level represents a stepping stone established as a logical assessment point for a developing musician. Five levels of theory examinations described in the current RCM Theory Syllabus are designed to complement practical studies and to ensure a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of various aspects of theory. Required theory examinations begin at the Grade 5 practical level and include the following subjects: rudiments, harmony, history, counterpoint, and analysis. RCM Examinations welcomes examination applications from all interested individuals. Applications are accepted by RCM Examinations on the understanding that candidates comply with the procedures and requirements outlined in this Syllabus. For more information, please visit our website at www.rcmexaminations.org or contact: RCM Examinations 5865 McLaughlin Road, Unit 4 Mississauga, Ontario Canada L5R 1B8

A senior-level examiner will be assigned for Grade 10 and ARCT examinations. If there are insufficient senior candidates in a particular centre to warrant sending a senior-level examiner, senior candidates who have applied to be examined at that centre will be notified. Such candidates may choose to take their examination at the nearest centre where a senior-level examiner is available.

FEE EXTENSIONS AND REFUNDS Once received by RCM Examinations, an application may not be withdrawn. No fee extensions (i.e., credit notes) or refunds are granted for candidates who fail to appear for their examinations. Fee extensions will not be granted if RCM Examinations is unable to accommodate a special request. There are no academic penalties for missed examinations.

EXAMINATION RESULTS Individual examination results are available at www.rcmexaminations.org. Please note that results will not be given by telephone. • Candidates may review a scan of the original examiner’s report on-line in the “Examination Results” section of the RCM Examinations website. (Please see pp. 17–18 for details on the grading of voice examinations.)

• Duplicate marks and transcripts are available upon written request and payment of the requisite fee. • Teachers may review scans of the examiner’s reports for all their students on-line in the “Teacher Services” section of the RCM Examinations website. • Teachers may review unofficial transcripts for all their students’ examinations on-line in the “Teacher Services” section of the RCM Examinations website.

THE EXAMINER’S EVALUATION The examiner’s written evaluation of a practical examination is intended to explain, in general terms, how the final grade was calculated and to assist the candidate in subsequent music studies. • Examination marks reflect the examiner’s evaluation of the candidate’s performance during the examination. • Examination marks do not reflect previously demonstrated abilities and skills, nor do they reflect

the examiner’s estimation of the candidate’s potential for future development. • Results of one examination do not in any way prejudice the candidate’s results in subsequent examinations. • Appeals on practical examinations will not be considered.

THEORY EXAMINATIONS: PREREQUISITES AND CO-REQUISITES In order to receive a certificate or diploma for a practical examination for Grades 5 to ARCT, candidates must also complete specific RCM Examinations theory examinations. • Theory co-requisites must be completed before or within five years after the respective session of the practical examination. Candidates are strongly advised to complete their theoretical work before, or at the same time as, their practical examination. • For Grade 10 and ARCT, the five-year time limit for completion of theory co-requisites is computed from the date of the original practical examination, not from the date of any subsequent supplemental examinations. • Candidates must complete their ARCT prerequisites before applying for an ARCT practical examination. Candidates may not complete their ARCT prerequisites in the same session in which they take

their ARCT practical examination. Teachers may visit the “Teacher Services” section of the RCM Examinations website to review the examination histories of candidates who have taken an examination in the current accademic year. This service allows teachers to confirm the completion of prerequisites and co-requisites. • There are no prerequisite or co-requisite theory examinations for candidates applying for practical examinations in the Introductory Level and Grades 1 to 4. • There are no prerequisite theory examinations for candidates applying for practical examinations in Grades 5 to 10. • For more information regarding RCM Examinations theory examinations, please refer to “Theory Examinations” on pp. 127–128 of this Syllabus and the current RCM Theory Syllabus.

Information given for each item includes: ✔ the composer ✔ the larger work of which the selection is a part (where applicable) ✔ the title of the selection ✔ an anthology or collection in which the selection can be found (where applicable) ✔ performance directions (where applicable) indicating the section(s) of a work to be prepared ✔ the publisher of a suggested edition (where applicable) Names of publishers are indicated by an assigned abbreviation. Please see pp. 25–26 for a list of publishers with their abbreviations. Transposition • In the Introductory Level and Grades 1 to 8, songs and vocalises may be transposed to any key to suit the range of the candidate’s voice. In Grade 8, recitatives must be sung in the original key. • In Grades 9, 10, and ARCT, recitatives and arias from cantatas, oratorios, and operas must be sung in the original key. Art songs may be sung in any key. Vocalises may also be sung in any key. Language Candidates are encouraged to sing repertoire in the original language, and to be as familiar as possible with the meaning of the words. In almost all cases, the original language is the language of the text that was originally set by the composer. However, there are several notable exceptions to this rule. In all of these cases, versions in two different languages are well established in the repertoire and academically justified: • Selections from the two oratorios by Haydn (Die Schöpfung / The Creation and Die Jahreszeiten / The Seasons) may be sung in either German or English. • Selections from the two oratorios by Mendelssohn (Paulus / St. Paul and Elias / Elijah) may be sung in either German or English. • Selections from Gluck’s opera Orfeo ed Euridice may be taken either from the original Italian version (1762) and sung in Italian, or the revised French version (1774) and sung in French. • Selections from the oratorio Die letzten Dinge / The Last Judgement by Louis Spohr may be sung in either German or English.

Voice Syllabus

Choice of Verses • This Syllabus does not specify a number or choice of verses for folk songs or other strophic songs. Candidates should be prepared to sing their choice of at least three verses of such songs. • Candidates who choose selections from the Voice Series, Third Edition, must sing all the verses printed in the repertoire album. Da capo Signs and Repeats • When performing repertoire at an examination, candidates should observe da capo signs. • Repeat signs should ordinarily be ignored. However, repeat signs in repertoire from the Voice Series, Third Edition should be observed unless otherwise indicated.

EXAMINATION REPERTOIRE continued Memory • For the Introductory Level and Grades 1 to 10, candidates are expected to perform repertoire from memory. For Grades 1 to 10, marks will be deducted for each piece not memorized. (Candidates may elect to perform a piece using the music; the examination will still be graded, but the final mark will reflect a significant penalty for failure to memorize.) • For the Performer’s and Teacher’s ARCT examinations, memorization is compulsory. Candidates not performing from memory will receive comments only; no marks will be awarded. Such performances do not qualify for examination awards or diplomas. • Recitatives must be memorized. • Vocalises and technical tests need not be memorized. Accompaniment • All selections requiring accompaniment must be performed with accompaniment. Syllabus Repertoire Lists In each grade, candidates are encouraged to choose a balanced examination program that includes a variety of musical styles and keys. The repertoire for each grade is divided into several lists, according to form or stylistic period. Grades 1 to 6 List A: Folk songs and music composed before 1900 List B: Music composed after 1900 Grades 7 and 8 List A: Music composed or arranged before 1830 List B: Music composed or arranged 1830–1900 List C: Music composed or arranged after 1900 Grades 9 and 10 List A: Music composed or arranged before 1830 List B: Music composed or arranged 1830–1900 List C, Part 1: Music composed or arranged after 1900 List C, Part 2: Musical Theatre and Operetta ARCT List A: Music composed or arranged before 1830 List B: Music composed or arranged 1830–1900 List C, Part 1: Music composed or arranged after 1900 List C, Part 2: Musical Theatre and Operetta List D: Opera arias List E: Oratorio arias The repertoire for the Grade 10 and ARCT examinations is further subdivided into four sections according to voice type: soprano, contralto, tenor, and bass/baritone. 14

• Repertoire from Lists A, B, and C may be chosen from the lists for any voice type and may be transposed to any key to suit the candidate’s voice. • Arias from Lists D and E must be selected from the candidate’s voice type and sung in the original key. Musical Theatre Option in List C Operetta has been well established for more than a century, and the art of American musical theatre is a performing medium in which many classically trained singers choose to work. Many music schools have recognized this by incorporating musical theatre into vocal and opera programs. In the earlier senior grades, such training also provides excellent preparation, both vocally and dramatically, for operatic singing. In the Voice Syllabus, 2005 Edition, musical theatre selections are introduced in Grade 9, by which time vocal students should be able to manage the technical requirements—especially with regard to blending of the registers—that the genre often demands. The musical theatre and operetta lists include repertoire from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and traditional German operettas by Franz Lehár and Johann Strauss Jr., as well as a wide variety of styles of American musical theatre ranging from the early 1920s to contemporary times. • Most of the musical theatre and operetta listings in the Voice Syllabus include an anthology that contains the selection. Candidates must use either this anthology or an original score for the operetta or musical. • Musical theatre selections must be chosen from the works listed for the candidate’s voice type and sung in the original key. • German operetta selections may be performed either in German or in an English translation (as often performed in North America). Candidates who choose to sing in English must use the edition listed in the Voice Syllabus. The Voice Series, Third Edition In order to ensure the ready availability of highquality examination materials, The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited has published the Voice Series, Third Edition. This new edition includes nine Repertoire Albums (Introductory Level through Grade 8) and four books of vocalises and recitatives (for Grades 5 to 10). Songs and vocalises may be transposed to suit the voice of the candidate. Recitatives must be sung in the original key. Wherever possible, songs are presented in the original language. Most selections in a language other than English include either English words to be sung or a literal English translation printed below the music. Recitatives are presented in the original language only, and a literal English translation is printed below the music.

EXAMINATION REPERTOIRE continued Editions For many repertoire items, the Voice Syllabus listing includes a suggested edition (indicated by an assigned publisher abbreviation). These editions have been chosen for their quality or for their availability in North America. Where no publisher is indicated, students are encouraged to use the best edition available—the edition that best reflects the composer’s intentions. Editorial markings vary from edition to edition. Examination marks will not be deducted for altering these editorial suggestions as long as the resulting change is musically acceptable. Availability The compilers of this Syllabus have made every effort to ensure that most of the materials listed are in print and easily available at leading music retailers throughout North America. If you experience difficulty in obtaining vocal music in your community, consult “Sources of Vocal Music” on p. 135. However, please note that the publishing industry changes rapidly. Works go out of print, and copyrights move from one firm to another. In addition, the repertoire lists contain a few items that are no longer in print but that teachers or students may have in their personal collections. Out-of-print items are indicated in the lists as “[OP].” Candidates may use an out-of-print work for examination purposes provided they can obtain the published work. (Please see “Copyright and Photocopying” below.) Anthologies and Collections If a repertoire selection is published in a collection of the composer’s music or in an anthology containing music by a number of composers, the title of the collection or anthology is usually included in the Voice Syllabus listing. Individual selections may also be found in other sources. • In order to save space, the titles of some anthologies have been shortened. The list of “Vocal Anthologies”

on pp. 130–132 gives full bibliographic details for all anthologies included in the repertoire lists, along with the shortened form of the title used in Syllabus listings. • The words “vol.” and “book” have been omitted from the shortened titles. The number following the title (for example, Opera Anthology, 2) indicates the volume, book, or set number in which the selection can be found. • The titles of collections containing works by only one composer are preceded by the composer’s name (for example, Dowland: 50 Songs, 4). The major exception to this rule is for titles of Lieder by composers such as Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wolf, and Mahler, and composers of French art songs such as Debussy, Duparc, and Fauré. For these composers, the publisher abbreviation(s) immediately following the title refer to the publisher(s) of standard collections of vocal works for that composer. No titles or volume numbers are given for these books. Copyright and Photocopying Composers, artists, editors, and publishers rely on sales revenues to contribute to their livelihood. Photocopying music deprives the creators of due compensation. Please note that photocopied music will not be permitted in the examination room. Candidates who bring photocopies to the examination will not be examined. Candidates should bring all music to be performed to the examination. Candidates who wish to photocopy one page of a selection for the purpose of facilitating a page turn may do so with permission from the publisher. The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited is pleased to grant permission to festival, recital, and examination participants to photocopy one page from Frederick Harris Music publications for the purpose of facilitating a page turn.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Specific technical tests are given in the requirements for Grades 1 to 10 and the Teacher’s ARCT examinations. Technical tests need not be memorized. Candidates will be provided with a copy of the

Voice Syllabus

technical tests in the examination and will be permitted to specify a preferred range. Candidates are expected to sing exercises with clarity of vowels and accuracy of pitch and rhythm.

EAR TESTS AND SIGHT SINGING When singing the required notes for the Rhythm, Intervals, and Scales sections of the Ear Tests and the Sight Singing test, candidates are encouraged to use any system which enables them to produce the correct pitches—for example, solfège (fixed do), tonic sol-fa (moveable do), numbers; candidates may also use a neutral vowel (such as “a”). For the Rhythm section of the Ear Test and the Sight Singing test, candidates are encouraged to beat one measure in the appropriate metre before beginning.

This will help them to establish the tempo and to keep the rhythm accurate. When singing the Scales test, candidates who choose to use a moveable do system should use la as the tonic for minor scales. harmonic minor scale in sol-fa syllables: la ti do re mi fa si la si fa mi re do ti la melodic minor scale in sol-fa syllables: la ti do re mi fi si la so fa mi re do ti la

REPERTOIRE SUBSTITUTIONS Substitutions from the Voice Syllabus Candidates in Grades 1 to 10 may choose to substitute one repertoire selection from the Voice Syllabus according to the following guidelines. No prior approval is required for substitutions from the Voice Syllabus. • A Grade 7 List C selection will be accepted for Grade 6 List B. • Grade 10 candidates may substitute a selection from ARCT List A, List B, List C, Part 1, or List C, Part 2, but not from the Opera or Oratorio Lists. • Recitatives and vocalises may not be substituted. Please note that the substitute selection must be performed exactly as listed in the Voice Syllabus. Substitutions Requiring Approval Candidates may request approval to substitute one repertoire selection not listed in the Voice Syllabus. Approval of such selections is based on the suitability of the style and the level of difficulty. • In Grades 1 to 6, the substitute selection may replace a work in Lists A or B. • In Grades 7 and 8, the substitute selection may replace a work in Lists A, B, or C. • In Grades 9, 10, and ARCT, the substitute selection may replace a work in List A, List B, or List C, Part 2. • For ARCT examinations, the substitute selection may replace a work from Lists A, B, D, or E. Candidates wishing to include a substitute selection on their examination programs should complete an Examination Substitute Piece Request Form (available at www.rcmexaminations.org). Please note that Examination Substitute Piece Request Forms must be received before the application deadline date. • List all works to be performed at the examination on the Examination Substitute Piece Request Form.

16

Send the form, together with the appropriate fee and a copy of the substitute piece, to RCM Examinations. (Photocopies used for this purpose should be marked “For Approval Only”; these photocopies will be destroyed once a decision has been made.) Published music will be returned along with the approved form. • Bring the approved Examination Substitute Piece Request Form to your examination and give it to the examiner. • Candidates are advised to prepare an alternate work in case the request is denied. Please note that marks will be deducted from the final examination mark for the use of an unapproved piece (other than an Own Choice Substitution). Own Choice Substitutions For Grades 9, 10, and ARCT examinations, candidates may substitute one repertoire selection not listed in this Syllabus. • The substitute work may replace a selection in List C, Part 1. • The substitute repertoire selection must be of equal difficulty and musical quality to works in the appropriate syllabus list for that grade, and must be from the same historical style period. • Judgement shown in choosing a substitute selection will be considered in the marking. For this reason, RCM Examinations will not answer questions or give advice regarding Own Choice Substitutions. It is the responsibility of the teacher to provide the appropriate advice. • Candidates should clearly indicate such substitutions as “Own Choice” on the list of repertoire to be handed to the examiner. Please note that no prior approval is required or provided for Own Choice Substitutions.

The ARCT Diploma is the culmination of the RCM Examinations Certificate Program. The Performer’s ARCT examination will be evaluated as a concert performance. Excellence in every aspect of performance is expected. Candidates must achieve a minimum of an Honours standing (70 percent) in order to be awarded an ARCT Diploma.

Policy Regarding Pass and Failure If a candidate is able to preserve the continuity of a performance of a work despite a small break in concentration, a passing mark will not be precluded. The candidate’s performance of a work may receive a failing grade for any of the following reasons: • lack of stylistic awareness • repeated interruptions in the continuity • substantial omissions • textual inaccuracies • complete breakdown of the performance

Marking Criteria First Class Honours with Distinction: 90–100 Only truly exceptional candidates achieve this category. Candidates must demonstrate complete technical command and perform with a confident, masterful style. These candidates clearly demonstrate an authentic personal performance spark. First Class Honours: 85–89 Candidates present a truly engaging and intelligent performance, displaying technical polish and finesse, definite and apt characterization, and a sense of spontaneity. First Class Honours: 80–84 Candidates are technically solid and demonstrate sensitivity, intelligence, and talent. They are well prepared and able to execute the examination requirements thoughtfully and confidently. Honours: 70–79 Candidates exhibit thorough and careful preparation and demonstrate some interpretive skills. Repertoire is presented with overall command and accuracy. There is awareness and general security in technical elements.

REPERTOIRE Please see “Examination Repertoire” on pp. 13–15 for important information regarding this section of the examination. Candidates must be prepared to sing ten selections: • one from List A • two from List B • two from List C, Part 1 or one from List C, Part 1 and one from List C, Part 2 • two arias from List D (opera) • two arias from List E (oratorio) • one additional selection from List A, B, or List C, Part 1

REPERTOIRE continued Candidates are encouraged to choose a varied and well balanced program. Each bulleted item (•) represents one selection for examination purposes. The length of the performance must be between 40 and 50 minutes. Please note that the examiner may stop the performance if it exceeds the allotted time. A short break (approximately five minutes) representing an intermission will be allowed at the candidate’s discretion. A high standard of performance is essential in this examination. The artistic balance of the candidate’s program is considered in the final assessment. • The repertoire is divided into four sections: soprano; mezzo-soprano and alto; tenor; baritone and bass. The purpose of this division is to present a representative selection of recital or examination repertoire for each voice type. • Memorization is compulsory. Candidates not performing from memory will receive comments only. No marks will be awarded for any piece performed from a score. • Candidates are encouraged to sing repertoire in the original language. The candidate’s program must include at least one selection in English, as well as selections in three of the following languages: French, Italian, German, Latin, Spanish. Candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the pronunciation of each language they choose. Please note that arias and recitatives from oratorio and opera must be sung in the original language. • Opera and oratorio arias must be selected from the works listed for the candidate’s voice type and sung in the original key, with the accompanying recitative where specified. • Please note that one of the two arias chosen for the candidate’s examination program must have an accompanying recitative. • Art songs and Lieder from Lists A, B, and C may be sung in any published key, and may be selected from the lists for any voice type.
