Composition 2: This is the end of Act 2 of my opera En la ardiente oscuridad. The scene includes a duet between sopranos Juana and Elisa, and is followed by a brief scene between Juana and Ignacio (tenor).
Elisa: Laura Intravia
Juana: Kelley Hollis
Ignacio: Omar Najmi
Don Pablo: Ryne Cherry

Composition 3: This is the extracted MIDI (for reference) from my proposed duet from the newest opera I am working on, This is not that dawn. I plan to create a piano reduction and add a section to the middle of the scene that incorporates traditional Indian dance rhythms and "bols" (chanted rhythmic syllables that accompany dance instruction).
Meera: Soprano
