Required Choral Repertoire in State Music Education Performance Assessment Events
Kramer, Marie K.; Floyd, Eva G.
Contributions to Music Education, v44 p39-53 2019
This study investigated required repertoire lists for state music education associations' choral performance assessment events in the National Association for Music Education North Central division. Questions included: (a) How many states have required repertoire lists; (b) What categories/genres and historical time periods are represented on these lists; (c) Are there any notable differences between and among states' required repertoire lists within NAfME's North Central region; and (d) Do the required repertoire lists reflect NAfME's National Core Arts Standards for Ensembles? Analysis of 2,714 pieces revealed 74.94% of the repertoire was representative of Western art music, with 60.72% of those pieces composed post-1900, and 25.06% of the total repertoire was Non-Western. Implications of these results may question the concordance between NAfME's National Core Arts Standards and values set forth through required repertoire lists as determined by NAfME state performance assessment leadership
