*Please note that we have transitioned to only one audition piece for our combined mixed voice Junior Choir going forward.*

​

 

"Dona nobis pacem" is sung as a round with the recording. Choose the key that best suits your singer. The singer enters at measure 9 and sings the round TWICE through. Slight variations of the tune are acceptable.

​

 

Sight Reading:

​

The sight reading excerpt will meet these criteria:

 

• It will be in a comfortable range for each voice part.

• It will be in a major key, in 4/4 time.

• It will begin and end on the tonic.

• It will consist almost entirely of scalar motion; any leaps will be to the tonic.

• Rhythms may include whole, half, quarter and eighth notes.

 

Here are examples of comparable difficulty.

 

All methods of sight singing are acceptable (solfege, numbers, neutral syllables, etc.).

 

Scales: Singers will be asked to sing one major scale (ascending and descending, repeating the top 'do') in the following keys:

​

• Soprano: F 

• Alto: Bb  

• Low Voice: E
