From: Dave the Gnome For some strange reason I get the mental picture of an Italian caracature character going "Befora you loosa your tempa you needa to count ta tanna" But then again, I am not noted for complete sanity of reason. Sorry to interupt your perfectly sensible post. DeG |

From: GUEST,surreysingerat work Reverting to a serious answer to the question posted by the OP, you might want to try this site for a few answers to your question - a site dedicated to counter-tenors There is a link there to online videos and websites. Andreas Scholl is probably the most currently high profile counter tenor although there are many others. |

01 Mar 10 - 02:06 PM (#2853276) Subject: RE: Counter-Tenors? From: Old Roger One of my favourites is by Thomas Tallis, "The Lamentations of Jeremiah" sung by The Deller Consort. This is in effect a page of a medieval illuminated manuscript rendered in music complete with decorated versals and other decorative devices. A feast for the ear rather than the eye. Absolutely wonderful stuff. Amazon have a version of the CD retailing at £4.99 new. A Bargain! The version by his (Deller's) son is not quite so magical. |

01 Mar 10 - 05:05 PM (#2853452) Subject: RE: Counter-Tenors? From: Tootler Does "counter-tenor" have to do with his singing range Yes a counter tenor is a male alto with a singing range normally the same as a contralto. It is usually achieved by use of the falsetto voice. There is a Wikipedia article here which explains in more detail. |
