AveMariaPurissima Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm starting a thread for those of us who sing alto. Sopranos get all the glory, but altos are the ones who make the music sound razzle dazzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 You know what the definition of an alto is? A soprano who can read music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let_go_let_God Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My mom was a music teacher and I became her alto. Over four generations we had a Bass (great grandpa) Tenor (grandpa) Soprano (mom) and me. Unfortunately my husband (bass/baritone) never got to sing with my grandpa and mom. We could have had a quartet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sopranos have to work much harder! When I was in choir the altos just kind of sang the same note over and over, we sopranos had to hit all those high notes and actually remember more than one word a song.

[/quote] Sometimes our line is weird to sing, but it's more fun to learn, and sing once I know it. Our choir director is a soprano, but there have been quite a number of instances where she's said she likes the alto line of a given piece better than the soprano!

[/quote] In our choir, that would be the basses...We four of them and only one tenor. One of our basses is amazingly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My voice is mid-range, I think. But I love (and am better at) singing the lower notes =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysophylax Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I now have a much greater respect for altos and basses than I had earlier. I went to the most amazing chamber choir concert and was absolutely amazed at how good they were!!!! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
