Hi! I got into LaGuardia a while ago and I'm a soprano-alto. I reccomend show songs such as if I loved you from carousel, the beauty is from the light in the piazza, memory from cats, or any christine song from phantom of the opera. Good luck!
One piece of music that has multiple changes in dynamics, tempo and articulation is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It starts with an acapella intro and followed by a ballad about narrating to his mom that he have killed someone. The third part is an operatic part depicting the narrator's descent to hell. The final part is hard rock music
I would say percussion sorry if this is wrong.
The greek goddess of wisdom, war and crafts is Athena.
