Tia,
Sing whichever pieces you sing best. Don't worry about what repertoire or
which languages impress auditioners. What impresses us is a singer with
solid technique, musicality, good musicianship and good language skills who
sings communicatively. If you sing 'Row, row, row your boat" better than
anyone else in the world we'll like it much better than a Schubert song with
diction which " isn't too bad."
What shows you at your best? What highlights your strengths? Dress
professionally, know your translations word-for-word and sing those pieces.

>Dear Vocalists:
> My audition time is quickly creeping near.... I'm
still undecided about what I'm going to sing. I had to
sing An die Musik for my German diction class and I
really do like the piece. Any thoughts on using this
for admission to a university program or performing it
in general? Thanks in advance.>
>Tia
P.S. Is it impressive to admissions panels when you
present two pieces in a foreign language? (Assuming
your diction isn't too bad)?>
