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.
