                   The Quality
                  REGISTERS
Head, Chest, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!


Sounds may be generally characterized by
pitch, loudness, and quality. Sound "quality" or
"timbre" describes those characteristics of sound
which allow the ear to distinguish sounds which
have the same pitch and loudness.
What is the timbre?
Timbre is then a general term for the
distinguishable characteristics of a tone. Timbre
is mainly determined by the harmonic content of
a sound and the dynamic characteristics of the
sound such as vibrato and the attack-decay
envelope of the sound.
Harmonics
The spectrum of the sound produced by our
vocal chords is changed by the resonances of the
different harmonics in the cavities located
between the vocal cords and the outside: the
pharynx, the mouth and the nasal cavities.
Depending on the form of these cavities, certain
frequencies will be faded while others will be
amplified and will be more audible. The areas
where the harmonic frequencies are amplified
are called formants.
The first formant
The detection of the first formants allows us to
distinguish between vowels and then allow us to
speak (and to sing). What counts for
understanding of speech, is the relative position
of the formants and not so much their absolute
value, thus it is possible to sing vowels at
different pitch and to remain understandable.
Spectrograph
The singing formant

It is an area of resonance of the human voice
located around 2800/3000 Hz for the men and
3000/3200 Hz for the women. This is the region
where our ear is the most sensitive, while the
instruments of classical music only produce low
frequency in this area, allowing the voice going
out over the orchestra.

Editor's Notes

  1. In the diagram below, you can see how the tongue and the lips can alter the shape of the oral cavity and thus change the spectrum of the produced sound.
  2. The two singers here are Vladimir Pasuikov and, with an even lower voice, Yuri Wichniakov, one of the most famous Basso Profondo, who are unique to Russian singing. Their vocal range is at least one octave below the normal bass range (think Paul Robeson). In the first extract the bass hits the low Ab1; in the second the bass hits a G1. Not only do they possess the lowest notes of any choral singer, but the soloists have such full voices that the effect is immediately striking.
  3. Radu Marian singing LASCIA CH’IO PIANGA
