Undergraduate Study
All applicants for Choral Awards are auditioned through the inter-collegiate Choral Trials. The 2021 Choral Trials will take place online in March 2021.
You will be required to submit a video-recording in advance, of yourself performing a piece of your choice, which should be something that demonstrates the suitability of your voice to the traditional choral repertoire. The piece can be sacred or secular but should not exceed four minutes in length. A performance with pre-recorded accompaniment is fine.
If you do not have access to an accompanist, you may sing one of a number of set pieces for which we can provide pre-recorded accompaniment (see table below to download sample scores and audio files).
The audition itself will consist of:
You may also be invited for a second audition with any of the Directors of Music of the choirs on your list of choices, and some Chaplains also like to interview candidates. These additional meetings will take place online and will be organised by the individual Colleges.
