A Cappella Ensemble
This ensemble is available for vocalists. Though participants do not need to be voice principals, they should have the vocal and musicianship training necessary for this type of performance. Students will practice, learn, and perform in one or two concerts per semester. There will be mixed voice and divisi rehearsals as needed. Music will include traditional pieces from early music through contemporary classical music. This ensemble will utilize soprano, alto, tenor, bass voices—four voices per part (two voices per part for divisi)—for sixteen vocalists. This course will also require a piano accompanist. Audition requirements include singing one classical piece with piano accompaniment, as well as singing in a quartet performing briefly rehearsed a cappella music.
