2026 NC High School Honors Chorus Repertoire
Quick Link Sheet for teachers to print out and give students. I have often had issues trying to tell my own students how to find the rehearsal tracks so I made this quick link printable for you to print out and give to your students along with their music so they can easily access the rehearsal tracks on this website.
Quick Link Printable for Students
2026 Honors Chorus Repertoire:
Refer to Individual Voice Part Pages linked above for specific rehearsal tracks.
Please do not request editing rights/permissions. They will not be granted. All tracks are available for listening or downloading only. Access works best from Google Chrome and you may need to log in with an email other than your school system email for best access. Some LEAs have limited user access. There may be mistakes in these tracks. Please work with your students to make sure they know the printed music and not only what the tracks present. It is important that you thoroughly rehearse all the music and not rely solely on these tracks.
Awake the Harp (The Creation) - FJ Haydn (Audition Piece)
G Schirmer
Piano Only (this will NOT be the track used in the auditions)
Piano Audition Track (cuts from this track will be used for auditions)
Measure Numbers:
There are several versions of this music available, and I know some people are using a version that has a solo at the beginning. The official version (G Schirmer 50293660) does not have that solo, so in numbering measures, measure 1 is the very first choral measure where all parts sing “Awake the Harp”.
Audition Cuts:
Soprano Audition Cuts:
The track will begin on page 9 at measure 31.
Singers will begin in measure 32 (beat 4). They will sing until the end (m55, b1).
Alto Audition Cuts:
The track will begin with four quarter notes on the starting pitch in tempo (page 5).
