Contralto Voices.

A distinct difference must be made
between the mezzo soprano voice,
and the me2zo sopran o-contralto
voice, says Clara Louise kellogg In
the February Ladies' Home
Journal. Any competsn instructor
of singing can distinguish this differ
ence and will gauge his or her train
ing accordingly. While a woman
who possesses the former kind of
voice may sing soprano parts with
little difficulty, the possesser of the
mezzo. sopr ano-contralto must eXer-
else the greatest care in.the selection
ofmusic suitable to her register. /
have met many people who were
ignorant of the Kind of voice they had,
If one could judge of their knowledge
by their choice of songs; ignorant, al
so, l doubt not, of the incalculable
harm they were infiicting upon their
voices. Good con tralto vG ees are
scarce, but not any more so, L think,
than good sopranos. The deep, pure
contralto voice has always been more
rare than the more servlceable meZzo-
soprano contralto, which fills better
the large repertoire required upon the
operate stage from the contraltO. In
home singing there is, of course, no
occasion for this double service OF
voice, and q girl possessing q pure
contralto voice will be wise il she
uses 1t oimply in music suited to her
register.
