Harp
M.Mus 1st and 2nd Years
The recital will include at least five stylistically diverse works, or – alternatively, create a sixty minute program. One piece can be an arrangement of a song or an arrangement of a classical piece done by the examinee, or a piece composed by the examinee. A request may be submitted to include additional arrangement by the examinee in the program.
At least one of the works should be from the following list of works*. Alternatively, it is possible to put together a program that does not include works from the list. It is recommended that the repertoire being played has an idea that unites it into a coherent program, in which the works relate to each other and create a clear structure for the complete recital.
