| | Marian Anderson, a woman with a pleasing plainness and dignity, with an extreme remarkable voice, which actual consists of two separate voices - an abyss low contralto, and a dramatic soprano - and with a serious and a profound musicality. | | | A variety of sources (Marian herself ?) suggested February 17, 1902, as her birth date; however, Anderson's birth certificate, released after her death, listed the date as February 27, 1897. | | | Now, whenever I prepare to sing, I think back to that gushing vocal stream and to that Ostend concert which revealed to an astonished world: the harmonious and glorious voice of Marian Anderson..." |

| | Contralto, Mon Frère |
| | She returns to our shores for a solo recital for the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, featuring the rarely heard songs of her most famous compatriot, Chopin, as well as music by Mussorgsky, Brahms and Haydn. | | | The stars of the opera world are the showboat tenors and sopranos, but for sheer emotional slam and beautiful tonal color, it’s hard to beat a really great contralto. | | | This vocal range has an almost androgynous impact at the bottom end, where it merges with tenor tones, but also conveys a great, earthy womanliness at the heart, a kind of thinking man’s (or woman’s, what the hey) sensuality. |

| | The word alto is often applied to instruments to indicate their range in relation to other instruments of the same group. | | | The majority however define contralto and alto as synonyms, and assign the adjectives light and dark, with a dark alto being a female of tenor range, while a light alto, commonly referred to as simply alto, to include mezzo-sopranos as well. | | | Most of the time, contralto roles are limited to maids, mothers and grandmothers, but they do occasionally get notable roles, with witches being the most common outside of the three former roles. |
