There are
different female voices in choral music. One of them is soprano voice. Here we
will show you 4 soprano voice types. First, let's remind ourselves what is the
soprano voice. Soprano voice is the highest singing voice at all,
with characteristic that have the highest tessitura. From
the other side soprano voice is the most common female voice. They are known as
sopranos and they are given prominent singing roles. Because of that they are
often the leading protagonists in many operas. Their vocal range is from the
middle C to two octaves higher (that is actually an interval of 15 full notes!). At first see one example of exceptional soprano voice.
Coloratura soprano voice
COLORATURA soprano has the quickest, most agile, and highest voice extension. she will sing many notes higher than the standard soprano’s tessitura. Coloratura soprano have remarkably high voices and concentrate on performing music coloured by oranamentation, runs and fast passages requiring nice agility. In operas, the herioine's role usually incorporate a coloratura soprano.
Lyric soprano voice
LYRIC
sopranos are focused on beauty of the sound instead of extreme voice range or
powerfully singing. For their singing is required a light vocal quality as well
as a melodious, flowing style of vocal. A lyric soprano voice is right for
several art of songs and for leading components in light operas and musical
comedies. Sometimes, arias in some grand operas, also might need lyric soprano voice
style and quality.
Dramatic soprano voice
DRAMATIC
soprano voice is the appelation for sopranos with powerful voices and pronounced
melodramatic and theatrical ability. Operatic
roles depicting intense emotions are appointed to dramatic sopranos, and solely
sopranos of this kind will deal with the significant orchestral accompaniments
and emotional requirements of composer music drama.
Mezzo soprano voice
MEZZO SOPRANO
(meaning ‘half-soprano’): it's the voice that stands between the soprano and
the contralto. The mezzo soprano voice is very similar in extension to the
soprano voice. Mezzo soprano voices lack both the brilliance of the higher
soprano voices and also the richness of the lower alto voices. Since a lot of
women's voices fall in this voice type than the other, supreme vocal quality
and musicianship are essential for mezzo sopranos who build a singing career.
Carmen is one the few operas with the leading role appointed to a
mezzo soprano, however several supporting components in operas are sung by
mezzo sopranos.
