| | Michele Capalbo ~ Soprano |
| | Amongst the soloists, the Canadian Lyric soprano, Michele Capalbo was especially a revelation. | | | Rising Canadian soprano Michele Capalbo brought not unwelcome spinto weight and scale to the Governess's part, always retaining enough lyric grace for some lovely halftones and skillfully applied high pianissimos. | | | Needless to say, her Act III aria, "O Patria Mia," as well as her poignant Act I soliloqy ending in "Numi, pieta," were musically and dramatically a delight, as were her important duos and ensemble numbers. |

| | The Soprano Saxophone |
| | For the burning jazz tunes it would be tenor; for the funk and vamp type tunes the soprano; and for the ethnic influenced compositions I would use the flutes. | | | In 1985 I did a solo recording using only soprano overdubs called the" Loneliness of A Long Distance Runner" (CMP Records) which I feel is an excellent representation of myself musically and artistically. | | | I played the soprano exclusively with the new band through the mid 90s. |

| | Soprano saxophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The soprano's reputation is a little scarred because some musicians only choose to exploit the high register of the soprano, rather than listen to the low register, which has a clarinet-like warm tone quality. | | | In bands and orchestras, soprano saxophones are little used, and to an "unenlightened" public, the soprano may seem like a spiffed-up clarinet. | | | The soprano saxophone is a variety of the saxophone, a woodwind instrument. |

| | Take the Soprano Challenge |
| | One of the most notorious characteristics of the soprano saxophone is that it plays “out of tune,” and perhaps you have discovered firsthand that intonation on this instrument can be a bit troublesome. | | | We are listening for a different timbre and range as well, and this is sometimes a hurdle particularly for a youngster. | | | Finally, while the jazz aspect of this instrument has not been discussed here, there would be many practical uses of the soprano saxophone in a jazz band or jazz combo. |

| | Amazon.com: Soprano Sax: Music: Steve Lacy |
| | "Soprano Sax" is Steve Lacy's first album as a leader. | | | Recorded for Prestige on November 1, 1957, this disc features Lacy on his now trademark soprano with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Buell Neidlinger and drummer Dennis Charles. | | | I'm withholding a fifth star from "Soprano" because Lacy is just beginning to reach the heights here that he will later obtain on "Reflections" and "Evidence." Overall though, "Soprano Sax" is an excellent debut. |

| | Voice Definitions and Ranges |
| | They all meant the same thing, that is, a line of polyphony between cantus (canto, soprano) and tenor (teneur or taille in French), usually written in a clef a 3d apart from the tenor. | | | 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. | | | All I can think to add is that the English term "treble" seems to derive from the Latin "triplum", used in 13th century (and later) motets to indicate the third (and, incidentally, highest in range) part. |
