The tenors can hit their notes full voice, and the sopranos aren't shrieking. Where does this leave the basses, I would say bottomed out. First of all I am thrilled to hear you are performing this music. My personal fealing is if people are taught to speak the meaning of the word "not shout, push, yell, forse the voice" Pitch would not be and issue. Breath and speak, you do it when you talk, but most people like to push the voice when they are singing. The voice will take the air it needs, what is your message " the meaning of the word. Sing on points (stacato) this also will help the sopranos from "as you said it shrieking". sing on tineelyPaul Milkie ---------- Original Message ---------- From: tlneely <tlneely at mindspring.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] A temperament for a harpsicord Date: Sun, 5 Dec 2010 09:19:20 -0500 (GMT-05:00) Phil, You can go to rollingball.com and find Handel's temperament. I have used it for the Messiah, and it was GREAT! I sure hope you are doing it at A415. You will be amazed at how much more lyric the voices are for that piece at the lower temp. The tenors can hit their notes full voice, and the sopranos aren't shrieking. A much more pleasing sound overall.
