<div>Good question! Allow me to clarify:<br>
<br>
You need three pieces. The first two must meet the criteria set forth by the rules. The third piece must be a separate piece than the other two. It can be a period or an original piece that you did not do in the previous two rounds. Basically, the third piece
is there as a tie-breaker. Does that make sense? <br>
<br>
I apologize for the vagueness of the rules. Please let me know if you have any other questions.<br>

is different from the two above," does that necessarily mean it cannot be in the same category as #1? For example, if I were do a (slightly shortened) Canterbury Tale for #1, would it be acceptable to sing an authentic period song (or a couple of short authentic
songs totaling less than 4 minutes) for #3?</font></span></div>
