2014 update

Alternative works
Students who wish to select works other than those listed as the prescribed work/s for the
examination program should submit an application to the VCAA on the official form for
individual approval. Applications should only be made where there is no
equivalent/appropriate work/s on the list.
The form can be downloaded from www.vcaa.vic.edu.au. In requesting permission to
perform an alternative arrangement, applicants will need to:
provide details of the Alternative work through a recording of the work and/or sheet
music or chart as appropriate
outline grounds for the application. Suitable grounds may include repertoire not
included in either Section A or Section B, for example a work for taiko ensemble.
Information about Alternative works and the application forms are accessible from the Music
Performance and Music Investigation study pages. Note, the forms for each study are
different. In 2013, the closing date for Alternative works applications is Friday 1 March 2013.
The completed application form must be submitted to the VCAA before the closing date in
the year the student is completing Units 3 and 4 Music Group Performance or Music
Investigation. Proposals for alternative works must be made annually. Acceptance of any
particular work in one year does not ensure automatic acceptance of the same work in future
years.
User Guide
Section A
Arrangements in Section A are listed by performer. Following each title, details of reference
recordings are provided as a guide to performers in determining the form and style of their
performance. Section A is divided into six categories. Within each category are works in a
range of music styles.
When performing works selected from Section A, students/groups may
1. develop their own interpretation of the two works they select from the list within the
conventions of relevant styles. Information about reference recordings is provided to
assist students in this process.

For use from 1 January 2014. Annual updates are published at www.vcaa.vic.edu.au
Page 2 of 62
2. use notated sources such as transcriptions or lead sheets to prepare their interpretation
and performance . As the notation for many contemporary works is lacking in detail, and
in many cases does not accurately reflect the style of the work, it is recommended that
groups use notated sources in conjunction with the reference recordings.
3. Transpose works from the original keys.
4. Change instrumentation from the original and/or reference recordings.
Section B
Section B is divided into eight categories based on instrument groupings and works are
listed by composer and/or arranger. Following the title of each work, publication details are
provided.
Students who select a work/s from Section B of the list are required to provide a copy of the
score to the assessors at the commencement of the performance examination. Alterations,
instrumentation or dynamics, for example, may be indicated on the copy of the score
provided to the assessors. This requirement applies for Music Performance and Music
Investigation.

2. Jazz
The Jazz section of this list comprises works drawn from a variety of jazz styles. These works have been presented within five
categories.
Terminology
For the purposes of the prescribed list, Jazz Standards refers to instrumental tunes composed by jazz artists/performers. As a point of
difference, Vocal Standards are songs commonly composed for Broadway, film or Tin Pan Alley. The performance of these songs, within
authentic jazz settings, typically became commonplace after popularity was first achieved in mainstream settings (film, pop, Broadway etc.).
VCE Units 3 and 4 Music Performance and Music Investigation 2014 Prescribed list of group works
For use from 1 January 2014. Annual updates are published at www.vcaa.vic.edu.au
Page 5 of 62
Students are advised that non-vocalists are welcome to perform a Vocal Standard (as is common within the jazz tradition). Equally, vocalists
can perform instrumental tunes. This is common in jazz where vocalists use techniques such as Scat or Vocalise (lyrics composed to an
existing instrumental melody line).
Students enrolled in Music Investigation are advised to select works based on their determination to explore, in depth, performance techniques
that are central to jazz performance. They might include a range of authentic improvisation techniques, the use of jazz voicings and comping
(piano and guitar), the construction of bass lines, jazz drumming techniques etc. At the core of jazz performance is the effective use of variation
and spontaneity in terms of both rhythmic and melodic choices made within the stylistic conventions of the work being performed.
Reference recordings have been purposely omitted from this section of the list. Students (and teachers) are advised to source a range of
recordings (from leading authentic jazz performers) when undertaking research into works being prepared for performance. These recordings
(plural) should be viewed as influences for the student as they develop their own interpretation of the work.

Vocal ensembles, including Music Theatre, Art Music, Jazz and Popular Song, Folksong and World Music, Spirituals and
Gospel, Sacred and Oratorio
Notes:
This list contains a mixture of original versions of songs, and arrangements; in the Music Theatre section there are
sometimes options provided for performing either the original version or an arrangement.
Abbreviations: S (soprano) A (alto) T (tenor) B (bass)
Some works are for a cappella voices, intended by composer or arranger to be performed without accompaniment. These
works should be performed a cappella.
Arrangements can be sung in ensembles ranging from duos to larger vocal ensembles, with doubling of parts as appropriate.
Original scenes from music theatre (or oratorio) should be sung as they appear in the original vocal score, with voice-types
appropriate to each role, and by individual voices (unless specified as chorus or ensemble voices).
Publisher details and editions for some works on the 2012 list have been updated to reflect current availability; it is also
acceptable to use the previously listed editions. Many works can be obtained second-hand, or via digital download.
