clarequilty and I need to form an international tenor chicks club. It was amusingly awkward during the holiday singalong today to keep making up harmonies that were a fifth below the original melody and realizing that I was roughly singing the same part as the men. Not that I've got a good voice, but I sounded less bad when actually singing in a range that doesn't make me sound like I'm being strangled by high notes. Why do I have such a freaky vocal range?!

On another note-insomnia is not being a productive friend right now. It's a pity my heroine in lit final paper won't write itself...

I once heard a song called "Tenor's Lament" which ended with a medley of the tenor parts to famous showtunes (with lyrics). It was hysterical.

Woo! I got a shout out! :-D

I feel so loved. TENORS UNITE. I feel your pain, too. Actually, my range covers just over 2 octives (C the octive down from middle C to High G) , but when I hit mid range, my voice cracks a bit. It's quite anonoying, which is why I stick with tenor parts rather than Alto. I would never call myself a true Soprano, either.

Couldn't you just ask for the tenor part then?

I'm on the lower end of a mezzo-soprano.... or else I'm just an alto with a wide vocal range but next to no voice quality. Heh.

I called Danielle yesterday, btw. And now I either need to call you (probably on the house phones) or you need to get on MSN or something. Download Trillian!

Presents to be mailed in January.

I really have to look that one up! Thanks for telling me about it. What were the lyrics about?

It was a cabaret song; I forget the vocalist, but you should be able to Google it via the name.

The lyrics were about a tenor. She was lamenting.
