What is required for Section A
Section A of unit G356 is all about 20th Century Vocal Music. 1900 - 1945. There are some key areas of learning and understanding to develop:
• Vocal ranges, names and performance techniques • Word painting (how the meaning of the text is reflected in the singing and part the singer sings) • The accompaniment, and how it works with the singer, comparing the instrumentation and harmony used.
You will learn about various works composed during this time. As there are no set works, you have to be able to react to what you hear in the exam. The key to success this is to listen to as many vocal pieces as possible from this period and understand what you are listening to.
