	Alto (voice) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, an alto or contralto is a singer with a vocal range somewhere between a tenor and a mezzo-soprano.
		In medieval polyphony the principal voice was the tenor.
		The word alto is often applied to instruments to indicate their range in relation to other instruments of the same group.

	Voice Definitions and Ranges
		The term was common in the 16th c., and equated with "voca di testa" as opposed to ordinary chest voice.
		Most alto parts were given to falsettists or "high tenors" (category 1), and soprano parts to castrati; but, "to avoid confusion" falsettists were often called "alti" or "voci naturali" to distinguish them from castrati singing alto.
		Tenors found a professional advantage in cultivating the uppermost range of their voices, and became adept in moving back and forth from falsetto to natural tone with little or no break: it is therefore difficult at times to determine whether a certain singer is type 1 or type 2.

	Alto (voice)
		In music an alto is a singer with a range somewhere between a tenor and a soprano.
		A typical alto will have a range from around the F below middle C to the D a ninth above middle C. In four part chorale style harmony, the alto is the second highest voice.
		However, choirs singing early music frequently include male altos.

		For example, if the beginning of part two were based on a rising pattern, F-G-A, in the alto, it is necessary to create a cadence for the end of part 1 in three parts, for soprano, tenor, and bass, that will accommodate F as a consonance at the point of overlap.
		The motet will be for two voices, soprano and alto, and on the mode G. You may base the music on the given chant melody if you wish, or you may compose your own melodies.
		In each case the alto will be an octave away from the bass, and the tenor will be a fifth or fourth away from alto and bass.

	Counter-tenors in Bach's Vocal Works - Part 2
		If a female alto voice such as those mentioned sings Bach, there is a deep emotional response on my part to the feelings and thoughts expressed, but with a counter-tenor such as Scholl, I sense more of an ethereal beauty that moves me from a very different direction.
		What the female alto can project to an audience in the low range is much greater than that which a counter-tenor can muster, who makes up for that lack in the higher range where it begins to sound more trumpet-like and achieves greater brightness of color in that range.
		Substituting basses for male altos and tenors for male sopranos used to be common practice in performing baroque opera a long time ago, but I've never heard of an alto singing a role originally written for bass in a Händel opera.

	Altos in Bach's Vocal Works
		I therefore assume that the "mezzo" alto soloist Bach had in mind was a boy, and perhaps the "haute-contre" soloist a high tenor.
		It was not the laser-beam intense voice of the modern counter-tenor.
		This doesn't exclude the additional use of boy sopranos and altos from the local Gymnasium, of course, but at least for the Weimar cantatas we know with absolute certainty that male falsettists must have been used for soprano and alto parts.

	Paly Voice: Welcome to Palo Alto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Portola Valley, Los Altos Hills and Atherton have some expensive homes, but those places have houses that are grand, opulent, majestic and bigger than George W.'s budget deficit.
		Size-wise, Palo Alto homes are like Lara Flynn Boyle compared to the similarly-priced Camryn Manheim homes elsewhere.
		Translated into real- estate language, a home in Palo Alto would probably be on the market for only one business week until a wrestlemania match is finally scheduled for the potential home buyers.

		Select tenor or sopano as the other voice, determine the appropriate hexachord for the new voice, and sketch in the cadences.
		Alternately, the third part, if the text warrants it, can be constructed either in the form of alternating paired points of imitation (soprano-alto, candencing and overlapping with tenor-bass repating the same music in the lower octave, and so on), or in a four-voice homophonic setting, preferably in triple time.
		For example, if the beginning of part two were based on a rising pattern, F-G-A, in the alto, it is necessary to create a cadence for the end of part 1 in three parts, for soprano, tenor, and bass, that will accomodate F as a consonance at the point of overlap.

		Occupying 10.5 acres of land, the IKEA in East Palo Alto did not arrive quietly or inconspicuously.
