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.

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.

(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 s—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.


15

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.


EXAMINATION PROCEDURES Candidates must be ready to perform at least fifteen minutes before their scheduled time. Please note that candidate examination times cannot be exchanged. • The availability of warm-up rooms cannot be guaranteed. • The availability of music stands cannot be guaranteed. • Candidates may bring a bottle of water into the examination room. • The candidate’s performance may be interrupted at the examiner’s discretion when an assessment has been reached. • Page turners and other assistants are not permitted in the examination room. Waiting areas are provided for parents, teachers, and assistants.

candidate has a letter of permission from the publisher. (Please see “Copyright and Photocopying” on p. 15.) Accompanists • Candidates must provide their own accompanists. Taped accompaniments are not permitted. Candidates who do not provide an accompanist will not be examined. • All selections requiring accompaniment must be performed with piano accompaniment only. No other instruments are permitted. • Accompanists are permitted in the examination room only while they are playing accompaniments for the candidate. Candidates with Special Needs • Candidates who have special needs are asked to apply in writing to RCM Examinations prior to the examination application deadline and give details concerning their needs.
