2016 VCE Music Prescribed list of notated solo works: Harpsichord This list may be used to select: a program of works for VCE Music Performance Units 3 and 4 Outcome 1 and end-of-year performance examination where the student has selected to perform as a soloist one work that will be used as the starting point for a Focus Area in VCE Music Investigation where the student has selected to perform as a soloist. This work must be performed in the Music Investigation end-of-year performance examination. 2016 update No works have been added to or deleted from this list for 2016. Many of the works on this list are available for purchase in more than one edition. Unless indicated otherwise, the editions listed here are not prescribed editions, but a guide to what is available. Schools and teachers are advised to research editions before advising students about sheet music purchases. Depending on the work, particular editions may be preferred because of their closeness to the composer s original score or editorial treatment of matters such as dynamics or fingering. It is the responsibility of schools and teachers to ensure that the edition used by students is in fact an edition of the listed work, not a simplified version or an arrangement. Editions that must be used will be annotated with only edition to be used. In these cases, the prescribed work is a specific transcription or arrangement. As required, the list includes information about how many movements of a work are required to be played and/or how many works from a collection may be played. Please note that any one means that only one movement or work from a collection may be played, whole work to be played means exactly that, and any one or more means that at least one movement or work should be played but more than one may be played. In 2017 a revised VCE Music Study Design will be implemented. Information about the revised study will be available during 2016 and support materials including Advice for teachers and Examination specifications, criteria and sample material will be published during 2016 and early 2017. The VCAA Bulletin will provide updates as material is published. The Harpsichord list is reviewed on a regular basis. Suggestions of works for inclusion or deletion should be sent to curriculum.vcaa@edumail.vic.gov.au with the subject line Attention Performing Arts Manager, Harpsichord list. For suggestions of works to be included on the list: provide a copy of the sheet music, publication details and, as appropriate, a description of the lines/parts to be performed indicate which category the work should be listed in briefly describe why the work should be included on the list.
