2nd piece (excerpt) that best demonstrates your vocal range, dynamic, and diction abilities

You may sing any song excerpt of your choice which best shows the highs and lows of your vocal range and ability to sing dynamics.

Please prepare approximately 60-90 seconds of music. You do not have to prepare a full song but rather a short excerpt of a piece (a verse and chorus of a pop song, or just the main theme from an art song below would be fine)
