Thread Name: How are Soprano and Tenor Defined?
Subject: RE: How are Soprano and Tenor Defined?
My understanding has been that a countertenor is above the tenor range -- a (male) tenor who "sings alto" -- while a contralto is below the alto range -- a (female) alto who "sings tenor." Of course, my understanding is often mis.
