Choir Singing has been one of my favorite activity during my younger years. My love for music was enhanced when I married Macrine Nieva Jambalos. Our love story started when we first met at a Choir Practice ( UPSCA) at the University of the Philippines in Diliman in 1952. Our mutual love and enjoyment for music extended far beyond our younger years. I have written a number of articles on the subject of music. Thus this article on the Countertenor Voice that I have recently read.
A countertenor (also contra tenor) is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is equivalent to that of the female contralto or mezzo-soprano voice types, generally extending from around G3 to D5 or E5, although a sopranist (a specific kind of countertenor) may match the soprano's range of around C4 to C6. Countertenors often have tenor or baritone chest voices, but sing in falsetto or head voice much more often than they do in their chest voice.
