I thought soprano is a female voice?

ZZzZzz

I dont understand......

[orion8352]

Some boys have very high voices,

they are called boy-sopranos,

others are altos.

[blahbaby2000]

[orion8352]

It's a part of a documentary.

@markabejero treble is the usual term

[BlueTubby]

@markabejero, Each person's vocal range is unique. With that said, it's important to note that males go through a voice change during puberty. On most occasions, boys generally sing alto/soprano before that voice change, and tenor/baritone/bass after puberty. Although it's also true that with work, most boys can retain their falsetto even after the voice box has developed, which therefore means that a SATB(soprano alto tenor bass) piece can be done with an all-male choir.

I am a lit smitten about the little knowledge that some people have. so called boys soprano are the cleares sopranos, they are even better than the one of trained opera singers. For that reason many kids in the late midle ages had been castrated to keep their high pitched voices. If you like to know more about that, look for "Il castrati". The music had been composed by Brahms. There was no one to sing that so they had to use 3 ladies as back ground singers in the movie.

Yellow Rose of Texas, very wonderful:))

[EmOnLinE12]

@markabejero Sopranos are singers who sing in high notes, which in this case, little boys who haven't hit puberty

[BigBingFan]

Ahhh, "The Yellow Rose of Texas," melts my heart......great. Wish the whole version was included here. Great job fellas!

[thrumymind]
