For their Music Medal, candidates must choose one of the Ensemble pieces and one of
the Solo pieces listed by level on the following pages.
The letters appearing in the grid to the left of the Ensemble titles indicate both the
size of group required for each piece (duet, trio or quartet) and the level of each line
(C Copper, B Bronze, S Silver, G Gold, P Platinum). Thus, the letters CCB denote a
trio for two players at Copper level and one player at Bronze level, with the initial C
representing the first or top line and the B representing the third or bottom line.
Bracketed letters indicate lines that must be played but cannot be assessed for the
purposes of a Medal. Teacher-Assessors may perform in any duet with the candidate
at Copper and Bronze levels and may also take a line in any trio or quartet at all five
levels. Those lines marked (T) are to be played by the Teacher-Assessor, although they
may also be performed by a suitably advanced pupil.
Accommodating the range of abilities found in groups, the Ensemble pieces
comprise parts that are either all at the same level or combine a part or parts for one
adjacent level. As a result, to maximize the choice of possible repertoire at any given
level, the Ensemble pieces listed under the adjacent Medal(s) should be consulted. For
example, the choice for a Silver level candidate embraces not only all of the pieces
in the Silver lists but those pieces in the adjacent (Bronze and Gold) lists that feature
assessable Silver lines – such as a trio BSS or a duet GS.
These Syllabus Repertoire Lists, first issued in 2008, have been updated in 2012 and are
valid until further notice. Books newly added are indicated in the lists by the symbol ‡.
For details of all new titles added across the Music Medals Repertoire Lists in 2012,
see www.abrsm.org/musicmedals.
A number of out-of-print publications that are still widely used by teachers have been
retained in the Lists. Contact details for the publishers and distributors listed on the
following pages are provided at www.abrsm.org/musicmedals.
