Talk:Countertenor

message: Shouldn't there be some other examples from popular music?  I immediately think of Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria), and especially Anthony Green from Circa Survive, who I believe can sing entirely in the contralto range without use of falsetto.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.26.180 (talk) 03:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the section Listen and compare because it referred to the broken link http://harmony.oakweb.ca/sampler/waschinski_vologeso5.mp3 . Without this link the paragraph had nothing to add. Bennor (talk) 10:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the section Notable twentieth/twenty-first century countertenors per discussion at WikiProject Opera. These lists add nothing to the reader's understanding of the term, and it fact, are confusing and misleading e.g. the continuous addition of Michael Jackson. I replaced it it with a See also section with a link to :Category:Countertenors Voceditenore (talk) 19:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: If a Contralto is a range below Alto, then shouldn't a Contratenor be a range below Tenor?  If that is so, it should not redirect here, as Countertenor is a range ABOVE tenor, not below.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darktangent (talk • contribs) 01:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Purcell normally used the alto clef for this (which would make the range figure look like { \new Staff \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } \clef alto e4 e4 }), but that's historical. The same octave-down treble clef as used for tenors would make sense ({ \new Staff \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } \clef "treble_8" e4 e4 }, as used for the tenor-falsettist policeman in Shostakovich's The Nose), as would standard treble clef for sopranists, but annoyingly I cannot find a source saying this. Regardless, the bass clef in the present picture seems quite unlikely. Double sharp (talk) 07:40, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends. Many countertenor parts are just mezzosoprano/alto parts therefore the standard treble clef is used (example J. S. Bach, Agnus Dei, Mass in B minor (BWV 232) . However if the part is in it´s main parts just a tenor part with some extra high notes, the octave-down treble clef is used (example Olim lacus colueram, Orff, Carmina Burana). As you can think it is also a matter of readability.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 16:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I suppose standard treble clef would make more sense then, since most of the standard repertoire would indeed be those historical mezzo/alto parts. So I suppose we could use that in the range picture, and note that octave-down treble clef could also be used in cases that are basically tenor parts that go so high as to force the use of falsetto. (BTW, I had the alto-clef image right the first time: the middle line is middle C.) Double sharp (talk) 03:03, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  What clef is normally used today for countertenor parts? 

message: What's that? There certainly isn't an entry in Wikipedia for it. Would that be somewhere in the citation?
