HSC performance pieces (4 Viewers)

[DaptoDapto2530]

I'm doing...

A medley of Mozart
The Wreck by Cuthbert Harris
Samson by Regina Spektor
Gone by Ben Folds

They should be alright showing some variety
I guess

 

[RedFenix]

I was wondering what most of the heavy metal guitarists are going to play?
i was thinking Canon rock and maybe Amity by Eternal Lord for some performances..

 

[Zak Ambrose]

just had my prac half yearlies today
dazed and confused
ocean
cathedral

 

[sophie joy]

What do you guys think of 'I Say a Little Prayer' as a vocal piece? Its for the topic 'Film Music.'

 

[schokman]

im doing definately
1. The Girl in 14G - Kristin Chenoweth (very very hard but i hope i can nail it!)

Omg. If you pull that off I will seriously *bows down*
<3 Kristin Chenoweth!

 

[treena45]

To the people who did the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata..can your really get that piece under the 5 min time limit??

Anyway my pieces are
Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy
The Forest Stream by Miriam Hyde
Prelude in C sharp Minor by Segei Rachmaninoff
and either The Rustle of Spring by Christian Sinding or the Friska from the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 by Franz Liszt..I haven't decided yet. It all depends on whether I can get the Friska up to the standard of the other pieces.
...all on piano obviously

 

[Nª!j∂♫]

i think it's SCARY how little time we have left to work on our pieces!

[tim_daniela]

im singing

with or without u- u2 (soft rock topic)

georgia- ray charles (jazz topic)

being alive- musical company (theatre)

and so beautiful- pete murray as my core performance but i really want another song other than u2 with or without u, its a big song to take on, and im over it....thats what i hate with singing i alwasy get over a song and wanna sing another one.

i was thinking as another soft rock song maybe snow patrol - set the fire to the 3rd bar

 

[chuboy]

I'm going to do:
Andante con variazioni, by Beethoven. (Just the theme and three variations, not the whole movement!)
Malaguena, by Albeniz
Cruella de Ville, from 101 Dalmations
Maple Leaf Rag, Joplin

All on piano, though Cruella is going to have a little mini jazz ensemble ^_^

[Juraga]

I'm a tenor vocalist and a guitarist, but I'm straying away from my guitaring for the HSC.

My pieces are:

The Exodus Song - Pat Boon (Bloody excellent piece, I've arranged a pianist)

Feelin' Good - Michael Buble cover (Possibly with a backing track, possibly with the afore-mentioned pianist)

Betrayed - The Producers (I'm having to use a backing track here, and I've cut the large comedy reminiscing speaking part. A lot of fun)

Everytime You Cry - John Farnham (My brother will be guitaring and singing backing vocals for me.. Oddly enough, his name is Chris Isaac. Irony, you bitch.)




Here's hoping I pull them all off...

 

[Cinnamonster]

I've ended up changing two of mine.
I play piano.
My pieces are:
Theme from Schindler's List by John Williams
1st Gnossienne by Erik Satie
La Valse D'Amelie by Yann Tiersen

Plus I'm doing a viva on La Valse D'Amelie as well.

 

[katzenjammer]

<3 classical guitar.

Prelude no. 1 - Villa Lobos
Spiral Ellispe - Duet by Richard Charleton
...and another one (i alwayds forget the name)

for jazz i have been working in a group doing Eva cassidy's Wayfaring stranger. but i hate my part in it. does anyone have a suggestion for a jazz piece i could do guitar and possibly vocals in?

 

[tocador]

my pieces are:

The Beatles - Let It Be (A reggae version i came up with)
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Gervais Koffi - Sokouya (He's my guitar teacher, and it's one of his compositions)

i wanted to play other songs, but i prefer using backing tracks, and these songs were the only ones i was bothered making backing tracks for. I'd prefer live accompaniment, but everyone in my class plays different styles, none of them seem to like mine haha.
