The Tenor High O.

There - q question in music which
have heard debated often and one up
on which musical people, even singers,
disagree. As the question is such a
fundamental one. 1t seems strange
there should be any difference Of opin-
ion concerning 1t among those at all ed
ucated In music. The question is this:
Is the range Of the male voice an oc-
tave below that Of the female voice?
In other words, Is the tenor high @
and the low G of the baritone an oc-
tave lower than the low G Of the con-
rralto? II this be so. why Is the music
for a tenor written on the same clef as
for a soprano, showing apparently in
the same pitch, instead Of indicating in
some way that there Is an octave diff
ference between the two? A clear ex-
planation Of the question will be CRATE
fully received.
Answer: The tenor high G Is an oc>
tave below the soprano high @. and the
low G Of the baritone Is an octave lower
than the low G Of the contralto. All
Opinions" to the contrary belong in
the same category as the alleged
proofs Of the exact squaring of the
circle which continue to be put forth
from time to time.
Another cause of misconception on
this point Is, however, the very differ
ent impression made upon the ear by
notes in a male or a female voice. High
tenor A, for instance, is In unison with
the medium A Of a contralto; but some
how 1t seems to sound higher. That Is,
everyone Immediately recognizes the
high A of a tenor voice as n "high
note;" no one thinks Of the medium A
Of a contralto as "high note" And
yet both notes are Of exactly the same
pitch. The reason for this difference Of
impression Is that this A really is a
high note for a tenor-it lies very near
the extreme limit of his compass, and
its production Is associated with a GER
tain amount Of effort to "sing high"
but this same note lies in the medium
of a contralto voice. and no sort Of
pbysical effort or straining is associated
with its production. Thus 1t is diff
cult for ears Of no more than ordinary
acoustical keenness to realize that high
tenor A Is really no higher than medium
contralto A; the ordinary ear is the vic
