The English art song repertoire may include African American spirituals or American folksongs arranged by a published classical composer with piano accompaniment, or a song from standard American musical theater repertoire). Only one of the two songs performed should be in English. At least one song should be in a foreign language. Please note that popular songs (e.g., country, gospel, contemporary Christian, praise and worship, rhythm and blues, urban, pop, jazz, etc.) and voice parts from a choral work are not acceptable.
