The voice that nature has believed a person is able to transmit sounds not only in the conversation and expression of emotions, but also with singing. The melody of the human voice is very rich, the palette of it is multicolored, and the height bands are very individual. It was these criteria that the person was determined in art a separate vocal genre.

The very concept was determined and marked yet on Latin (Vocalis - "sounding"). Vocalist is a musician that uses his voice as a tool. It can be low sound and singing notes of the upper case. Bass or soprano, baritone or mezzo-soprano, alto or tenor are different types of singing voices.

Not only singers of classic parties, but also performers of recitatives and artistic declamation fall into the category of vocalists. Classic composers always write their works, belonging to the vocalist's voice, as an independent musical instrument, given its features and opportunities.

Determination of the type of singing voice

Singing voices are divided into types of sounds of sounds, the height of which is determined by the individual capabilities of the vocalist. Assigning a voice to a certain type - the task is very important. Bass, Alto, soprano, tenor - what is the range, only a specialist will be able to determine. Moreover, the singing range of the vocalist can change over time, and the use of voice outside the possibilities can affect the health of the musician.

• Tembre (teachers on vocals call it "color of voice").
• Tssetura (maximum possibilities and endurance of taking upper sounds).
• Articulation.
• The structure of the larynx (a doctor-phoniatra consultation is held).
• External, behavioral and psychological characteristics of vocalist.

The highest of men's voices

Oddly enough, in our time, the subject of the dreams of young men, planning to make a vocal career, is tenor. This is most likely a tribute to fashion. Today it is dictated by modern composers who often write men's scores for high voice. So it was not always. But we need to figure out, the tenor is what voice?

The classic standards of the type of singing voices of the tenor are defined as the highest of male ranges, denoted by the limits "to" the first octave - "to" the second octave. But it cannot be argued that these borders are unshakable. It must be said here that the tenor is not only classic vocals, when tenor batchs are written strictly within the range, but also a music register for pop and rock singers, whose melodies often transform the boundary of the designated range.

What happens tenor

To enter into tenors only in the framework of the reserved range will be unfair. The power, cleanliness and volume of the sound of certain notes of tenors allowed them, as well as other types, to obtain additional gradation. The subtleties of the separation of one subtype from another are available only to experienced vocal teachers. What happens tenor?

Tenor-altino or counter

The voice similar to the boyish, the highest of all tenors, who did not break after the mutation and was preserved along with a low chamber. This tenor is more like a female voice: the phenomenon is extremely rare, you can call the mistake of nature. An example of the vocal of counterfeit may be the "aria of the queen of the night" performed by M. Kuznetsov.

Lyrical tenor

Lyric Dramatic Tenor

The subtype of the tenor is close to lyrical, but painted by overtones, is much denser and rich.

Dramatic tenor

From the classification of tenors, it is the lowest, characteristic of the sound and proximity by a timbral shade to the baritone. For a dramatic tenor, many opera parties are written (Othello, Herman from the "peak lady").

From the characteristics of the subtypes of tenors, it can be understood that all of them, with the exception of counter-tenor, differ from each other with their coloring, timbre. The tenor is the favorite voice of the voice for the parties of heroic characters, starting with the heroes-lovers and ending with the heroes-liberators, wrestler heroes.

Transition notes

Another sign, classifying tenors, will be the so-called transitional sites. On these notes, the voice begins to adapt and change the playback method. Transition notes directly depend on the structure of the voice apparatus. These are the limit high sounds that the singer extracts without changing the position of the ligaments. This site has its own, individual. It directly depends on the training of voice ligaments. Tenor is the most mobile from the types of singing voices. Therefore, the adapter portion for the tenor will change throughout the career.

Tembre - Tenor Feature

The main error of the beginner boys-vocalists in determining their type of voice will be attempting to classify it only in the range. When a specialist is engaged in the definition, he will certainly evaluate the voice of the voice. Professionals call the column "Sound paints". It is the timbre that helps voice to reproduce notes accurate in height and full-fledged strength. It often happens that one listening is not enough for an accurate "diagnosis". After all, the timbre is the characteristic is also a non-permanent. But it concerns the classic vocal more.

Tenor and modern music

And for the performance of modern music, without touching the opera parties, it is absolutely no need to clarify what is your tenor. A voice can be simply defined as high, medium or low. In the West, such graduation has long been practiced. In it, the tenor is simply by definition the highest of men's voices.

Such a convention gives the ground for the grievance of young men who, from nature, the voice of a low or average register is not like tenor. The voice is a musical instrument, and any tool there is a party in the orchestra. Even among modern musical compositions, unfortunately, today oriented mainly on tenors, you can hear unique melodies written and for baritone, and for bass.

The lyric drama tenor, the voice is not necessarily stronger than lyrical, it rather has a tougher sound, more hard (usually) the timbre, more steel in his voice, the singer possessing such a voice can afford to sing both lyrical and dramatic parties. Sometimes it happens that the owners of a similar voice do not have a particularly beautiful voice or a big voice, then they stand out in a particular category of "tenor characteristic", usually singing on second roles, but sometimes characteristic, possessing a huge talent make their way to the first roles and even become world singers level.

Mario Lance, owner of a beautiful, solar timber, wonderful nature, he sang very well, even before he began to study, but after classes with Rosati he became completely close to the ideal in technical terms. If he were less lazy and a little more worked on himself ...

"March of March where you hide" "Martha" Friedrich von Flotov.
The Lionel party, designed rather on a lyrical tenor, in the performance of Lanz, it sounds just fine, the energy industry is characteristic of a dram tenor with the softness of the lire-tenor.

Death Othello "Othello" Verdi.
Party Othello was written by Verdi based on the vocal possibility of a dramatic tenor Francesco Tamano, the singer, who, before going to the stage, had to tie himself to his chest, so that God would not sing all the power of his voice. From Tamano's voices, people could lose consciousness, so strong he was (right here in my opinion, some collaborative characteristics of the voice were also to blame, for example, I, for example, even when listening to Tamano's centers, begins to hurt a head).
Lanz copes well with this party, for this he does not need to sing in full force or change the volume of voice.

Plotto Domingo, lyrical dramatic tenor, and if you really look in the eye, even rather characteristic, the timbre of his voice is not rich, although he sounds noble, beautiful, but in this merit of Domingo as an artist, a musician, singer, but in nature he was lucky Less than Lanz or Bieling.

"March Martha, where you hide" "Martha"
Domingo is less lyry in it than Lanz, but then the reason is rather in less beautiful tebre, in terms of the softness of the sound of sound, he sings even better than Mario Lance, just because, unlike Lanz, he is not lazy and knows how to work on the quality of performance.

Death Othello.
Here Domingo is very good, strength, steel, where Lyrics need, unlike Martha, it is not noticeable that the voice is not rich in the voice characteristics.

Jakkomo Lauri-Volpi: With the voice of this singer, much incomprehensible, but I tend to take it to lyric-dramatic votes, although he himself considered himself a dramatic tenor. At the top of Volpy was the FA second octave, that is, the note is peculiar to light tenor (and not everyone), at the bottom I took the bass Fa, as far as I was known, he took it quite voicedly, unlike other tenors, rather just buzzing this note.

A TE, O CARA "Puritani" Bellini.
Bellini wrote Puritan in a raid on Giovanni Rubbini, the first in the history of the tenor, taking the top to the voice, and not falsett, on the memories of contemporaries at the Rubbin, there was a very rich timbre and sound band, he could sing how to gently and fill the voice steel, that is, Most likely, he himself was also a lyric-dramatic tenor, which was coupled with the technique of that time (singers at the time in one breath could have gone to twelve two-oxidary gamps, and some did the decoration on every note), now lost, created the performers that we Most likely, not even able to imagine. Volpi sings Aria from Puritan, gently, lyrically, only in the top before it allows himself to add steel into the voice.

Death Othello. The party of Othello Lauri Volpy was preparing at the end of his career, his voice did not sound because in his youth, but still freely went upstairs. In this execution, it is interesting to intertwined, the softwood of Lauri-Volpy and dramatic laser invested by nature (and Maestro Antonio Katohn) into his voice. I will add that at the apparent softness of Lauri Volpy was a very strong voice that could literally stun.

Finally, the pair of passages from the "Huguenot" Meyerbera.
On this record, Lauri-Volpy in the cultia takes the top re render, takes absolutely free, full voice, and literally seconds in thirty before that, he sings the top to a slight voice to Piano, while you can hear that this is a voice, not falsett.
