KraMer  \nUniversity of Cincinnati  \neva g. FloyD University of Cincinnati  \nRequired Choral Repertoire in State Music Education Performance Assessment Events  \nThis study investigated required repertoire lists for state music education associations’ choral performance assessment events in the National Association for Music Education North Central division  . Questions included: (a) How many states have required repertoire lists; (b) What categories/genres and historical time periods are represented on these lists; (c) Are there any notable differences between and among states’ required repertoire lists within NAfME’s North Central region; and (d) Do the required repertoire lists reflect NAfME’s National Core Arts Standards for Ensembles? Analysis of 2,714 pieces revealed 74 . 94% of the repertoire was representative of Western art music, with 60 . 72% of those pieces composed post-1900, and 25 . 06% of the total repertoire was Non-Western  . Implications of these results may question the concordance between NAfME’s National Core Arts Standards and values set forth through required repertoire lists as determined by NAfME state performance assessment leadership  .  \nKeywords: choral, repertoire, performance assessment, national standards, required repertoire lists  \nIntroduction  \nRepertoire selection is critically important for music educators due to its significant influence on curriculum (Apfelstadt, 2000; Forbes, 2001; Whitlock, 1991) .“It [repertoire] is the vehicle through which students learn performance skills, musical concepts, music history, and cultural awareness”(Forbes, 2001, p. 102) . Required repertoire lists influence teachers’ selection of classroom music,  \nContributions to Music Education  \nwhich in turn influences the genres, historic time periods, and styles of music students will learn. Leading thinkers in music education at the Tanglewood Symposium of 1967 endorsed “music of all periods, styles, form, and cultures” and specifically recommended inclusion of pop, avant-garde, American folk, and the music of other cultures into the curriculum (Choate, 1968, p. 139). The National Standards for Arts Education and the National Core Arts Standards set forth by Music Educators National Conference (MENC) and the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) indicate the need for varied repertoire in ensemble performance as documented in both the 1994 and 2014 publications (Consortium of National Arts Education Associations, 1994; National Coalition for Core Arts Standards, 2014) .  \nThe National Core Arts Standards for Ensemble Common Anchor \\#6 (Perform expressively, with appropriate interpretation and technical accuracy, and in a manner appropriate to the audience and context) encourages students to be able to“demonstrate attention to technical accuracy and expressive qualities in prepared or improvised performances of a varied repertoire of music representing diverse cultures and styles, genres, and historical periods”(MU:Pr6.1.E.IIa) . Common Anchor \\#4 (Select varied musical works to present based on interest, knowledge, technical skills, and context) includes the use of “varied repertoire” in criteria such as“Demonstrate how understanding the style, genre, and context of a varied repertoire of music influences prepared and improvised performances as well as performers’ technical skill to connect with the audience” (MU:Pr4.3.E.IIa and MU:Pr4 .3. E. IIIa) .  \nThe standards articulate the goal of students being able to “develop, apply, and refine appropriate rehearsal strategies to address individual and ensemble challenges in a varied repertoire of music”(MU:Pr5.4.EIIIa) in Common Anchor \\#5 (Evaluate andrefine personal and ensemble performance, individually or in collaboration with others).
