Are there reproductive behaviors in evidence? (well, after all...)

Op. 169 SEX AND THE BIBLE: THE OPERA (Part I) (2009)
Sextets for Voices and Instruments
Act I - GENESIS
...from THE CREATION
...III. Let the Waters be Gathered
God Soprano, God Alto
God Tenor, God Bass
Creation of Life
...VII. Let Us Make Man
God Soprano, God Alto
God Tenor, God Bass
Creation of Adam and Eve
(the division of the role of the almighty into multiple singing parts, in the tradition of Igor Stravinsky in The Flood, etc.)
