The '''[[soprano]]''' singing voice is the highest type of female voice with [[vocal range]] that typically lies between "[[middle C]]" (C<sub>4</sub>) and "high C" (C<sub>6</sub>)<ref name="Peckham">{{cite book |title= Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer |last= Peckham |first= Anne |year= 2005 |publisher= Berklee Press Publications |isbn= 978-0-87639-047-4}}</ref> The soprano voice (unlike the [[mezzo-soprano]] voice) is stronger in the [[head register]] than the [[chest register]], resulting in a bright and ringing [[timbre|tone]].<ref name=dummies>{{cite web|url=http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/identifying-the-fab-four-singing-voices.html |title=Identifying the Fab Four Singing Voices |publisher=Dummies.com |date= |accessdate=2012-01-11}}</ref> Some sopranos can sing one or more octaves above high C using the [[whistle register]].<ref name="McKinney">{{cite book|title= The Diagnosis and Correction of Vocal Faults|last= McKinney|first= James|year= 1994|publisher= Genovex Music Groupk}}</ref>

The term ''soprano'' was developed in relation to [[Classical music|classical]] and [[opera]]tic voices, where the classification is based not merely on the singer's vocal range but also on the [[tessitura]] and [[timbre]] of the voice. For classical and operatic singers, their voice type determines the roles they will sing and is a primary method of categorization. In non-classical music, singers are primarily defined by their genre and their gender not their vocal range.<ref>Axelrod, Alan, [http://books.google.com/books?id=6giucunGumUC&pg=PA68&dq=contralto+jazz&as_brr=3#v=onepage&q=contralto%20jazz&f=false ''The complete idiot's guide to jazz''], Alpha Books, 1999, pp. 68-69 (ISBN 0028627318). See also Tarasti, Eero, [http://books.google.com/books?id=kgr1xjHP2UsC ''Signs of music: a guide to musical semiotics''], Walter de Gruyter, 2002, pp. 157-178 (ISBN 3110172267)</ref> When the terms ''soprano'', ''[[mezzo-soprano]]'', ''[[contralto]]'', ''[[tenor]]'', ''[[baritone]]'', and ''[[bass (voice type)|bass]]'' are used as descriptors of non-classical voices, they are applied more loosely than they would be to those of classical singers and generally refer only to the singer's perceived vocal range.

The following is a list of singers in [[country music|country]], [[List of popular music genres|popular music]], [[jazz]], [[crossover (music)|classical-crossover]], and [[musical theatre]]<ref>For a detailed description of the differences between the operatic and musical theatre voice see Björkner, Eva, [http://www.speech.kth.se/prod/publications/files/3003.pdf ''Why so different? Aspects of voice characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing], [[Royal Institute of Technology|KTH]] School of Computer Science and Communication, 2006 (ISBN 9171785183)</ref> who have been described as sopranos.

Revision as of 19:35, 10 December 2012

The soprano singing voice is the highest type of female voice with vocal range that typically lies between "middle C" (C4) and "high C" (C6)[1] The soprano voice (unlike the mezzo-soprano voice) is stronger in the head register than the chest register, resulting in a bright and ringing tone.[2] Some sopranos can sing one or more octaves above high C using the whistle register.[3]

The term soprano was developed in relation to classical and operatic voices, where the classification is based not merely on the singer's vocal range but also on the tessitura and timbre of the voice. For classical and operatic singers, their voice type determines the roles they will sing and is a primary method of categorization. In non-classical music, singers are primarily defined by their genre and their gender not their vocal range.[4] When the terms soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, and bass are used as descriptors of non-classical voices, they are applied more loosely than they would be to those of classical singers and generally refer only to the singer's perceived vocal range.

The following is a list of singers in country, popular music, jazz, classical-crossover, and musical theatre[5] who have been described as sopranos.
