In a group of about 8-10 people, you will sing through and participate in a 10-minute mini-rehearsal of "Let Us Be Joyful" (Also known as "Awake the Harp") from Haydn's "Creation" (links are posted to the right). You should learn the music ahead of time, but you don’t need to memorize it. (If you’re unsure of whether you’re a soprano or alto, tenor or baritone, please learn both parts.)

You’ll meet with a member of the Chorus to sing the rhythm exercise you prepared on your own (posted to the right in .pdf and .doc formats). You’ll sing that on a comfortable pitch, using a syllable of your choice (such as “dee” or “da”). When you first arrive for your audition, we’ll give you a second rhythm exercise to study and sing as well. You have the opportunity to study that second exercise before you enter the rhythm skills room.

"You’ll meet with another member of the Chorus who will listen to you speak the German text you prepared prior to the audition and may coach you to improve your pronunciation. This is not to assess how well you speak German but rather your ability to learn lyrics in a foreign language. The German excerpt (from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony) with sound clips to help you are posted to the right.
