Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adult male alto is what may be styled an "ecclesiastical" voice. It is not much used outside of church choirs, and it has most unfortunately, and ignorantly, been confounded with a tabooed voice, from which, scientifically, it is completely dissociated.Consequently the subject treated in the following pages is not a popular one. Notwithstanding the enormous advance made by male choirs in recent years, a large majority of musicians, voice trainers, organists, choirmasters, music critics, etc., are not interested therein. A goodly number are actively opposed to ecclesiastical tradition, and to any further growth in the "boy choir" movement, as it is sometimes (and very erroneously) called.A topic that appeals only to the minority, and is sniffed at by the majority, is not one that a writer embraces with avidity. Perhaps it is for this reason that so little has been written about the Counter-tenor. Ridicule and abuse are valuable enough in their way, and often serve important educative ends, but the Counter-tenor voice has suffered from an over-dose of these correctives.The readers of this book may not side with the author in the views presented. But on two salient particulars they will agree with him. The first is that the multiplication of male choirs has caused a coincident demand for adult male altos - a demand that must be filled. And the second is that progress in any department of knowledge is not made by dodging the issues involved, and by keeping silence.

It is not much used outside of church choirs, and it has most unfortunately, and ignorantly, been confounded with a tabooed voice, from which, scientifically, it is completely dissociated. Consequently the subject treated in the following pages is not a popular one. Notwithstanding the enormous advance made by male choirs in recent years, a large majority of musicians, voice trainers, organists, choirmasters, music critics, etc., are not interested therein. A goodly number are actively opposed to ecclesiastical tradition, and to any further growth in the "boy choir" movement, as it is sometimes (and very erroneously) called. A topic that appeals only to the minority, and is sniffed at by the majority, is not one that a writer embraces with avidity. Perhaps it is for this reason that so little has been written about the Counter-tenor. Ridicule and abuse are valuable enough in their way, and often serve important educative ends, but the Counter-tenor voice has suffered from an over-dose of these correctives.

Book excerpt: Everyone is familiar with the words diva or prima donna, which have come to mean a (usually) outrageous operatic soprano, but there was a time when the star of the show was more often a contralto, or a soprano singing in today's mezzo-soprano range. This performer was referred to as an alto. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the male and female leading roles were likely to be sung by emasculated males, the alto castrati, although there were many great female altos during this period as well. The music for these fantastic artists, written by such composers as Porpora, Vinci, Hasse, and even Handel, has been largely forgotten. At the beginning of the 19th century, as the castrati died out, their roles were often assumed by female altos referred to as musici. New repertoire continued to be written for them by Rossini and others, but gradually, this musical tradition and technique was lost. Now, however, because of the talent and industry of such gifted artists as Marilyn Horne, Cecilia Bartoli, and Joyce DiDonato, and the sudden ease with which the performance of these forgotten works can be obtained, there is a resurgence of interest in the performance and preservation of this lost art. Alto: The Voice of Bel Canto examines the careers of nearly 320 great alto singers, including the great castrati, from the dawn of opera in 1597 to the present. The music of the composers who wrote for the alto voice is discussed along with musical examples and suggestions for listening. The exploration of the greatest altos’ careers and techniques offers inspiration for aspiring young singers as well as absorbing reading for the music lover who wants to know more about the fascinating world of opera.
