This year's selection feature some classics from Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Debussy's "Claire de Lune", Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Rossini's The Barber of Seville, Verdi's Requiem, and Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. Some lesser known works on this year's list include Clarke's "The Prince of Denmark's March" and Reed's Armenian Dances.

As always, the official resource for this contest is the UIL Music Memory Passport, which will be available from UIL in August 2024. (Use the PSIA Handbook for list of rules and scoring.)

PSIA Music Memory is offered for Grades 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. Grades 7/8 use the extended list with 20 selections; all others use the first 16 selections only.

The "official" selections are in the Spotify playlist. I will find some YouTube selections of the same pieces or very close substitutions.

The YouTube playlists were created for those who have problems accessing the Spotify list, especially on mobile devices. You should be able to use either one for preparation, but the audio clips for the test will come from Spotify.
