The mouth and throat of the horn reflect sound so there are characteristic overtone frequencies with narrow band peaks from the wave bouncing back and forth, the same way that a trumpet, fluegelhorn, trombone or tuba develops a tone. I suspect the tenor range nasal overtones are straddling the crossover frequency or hitting one of the un-avoidable resonances of horns. Again, itвЂ™s ability to fill up vast spaces with beautiful sounds is something very special to hear. If your sound system doesnвЂ™t reproduce this Choir with the power of 360 voices often accompanied by a symphony orchestra or a pipe organ then you donвЂ™t know what you are missing. And needless to say it sounds pure of tone, no breakup, no harshness, no sign of strain at all no matter how loud it gets.ДЄmong massed choral groups I like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Midway back you not only hear the voice but how its power fills up a vast space with reverberation. This is why I donвЂ™t like to sit up front at a live musical performance. Then I heard it on a CD and knew why he was considered by many the best living tenor at the time. The first time I heard a recording of PavarottiвЂ™s voice it was on a vinyl phonograph record.

She wanted to sing Mimi in La Boheme but her voice wasnвЂ™t nearly up to the task. While some less accomplished artists can be pleasant and IвЂ™ve enjoyed many of them, comparing them is like comparing a Chevy Chevette with a Chevy Corvette.

ItвЂ™s only when they are in a large space like an opera house, church, or cathedral that the full power of their voice demonstrates that it can fill the space with lung power alone. When heard in a relatively small room they canвЂ™t begin to show what they can do. These voices often start out singing in church choirs but then between an interest in developing their voices, the right coaching, and an innate talent for music they can master and control their voices to produce a very wide range of effects. Also of note are baritones and mezzo sopranos. The stars of opera are for males the tenor voice and for females the soprano voice. Among my favorites are Luciano Pavarotti and Dame Kiri te Kanawa. It has a combination of power, purity, ability to express the most subtle nuances, and for the best of them honed to perfection each operatic singer with his or her own recognizable distinctiveness that sets it apart from all others. This is a superb musical instrument perfected to a point where it is as pleasing as any voice can be. The Rolls Royce of singing voices is the operatic voice. вЂњOh my BrotherвЂќ by Eddie from Ohio will reveal more and more as my system settles in to a room. Similarly, but as an honest no tricks vocal, try IanвЂ™s вЂњDa doo ron ronвЂќ with Andy Roberts backing on vocals. He once told me all the voices in that song are his voice as overlays with pitch adjustment in studio.

I use вЂњListen, Listen.вЂќ And staying with Fairport I use IainвЂ™s вЂњCarefully TaughtвЂќ for male voice (and fun). Similarly, if I want another listener new to my system to hear the amazing dynamics of a recognizable female voice I use Linda RonstadtвЂ™s cover of вЂњRock me on the Water.вЂќДЇrom earlier comments, Sandy Denny as well. Few systems get all of her vocals on this track, but when something new is displayed it is easy to hear. Her range, and yet untamed vocals (complete with inhales just before singing), is easy for me to want to hear more of, and thus I can hear it tirelessly. After I think all is set up in my system I use the title track from the first Emmylou Harris album вЂњPieces of the Sky.вЂќ
